So this is what happened... Nina was riding the quad outside... Jeff was watching her... he came running in the house and i said "what's wrong?" no answer...... He comes running out of the bedroom with his camera and heads for the back deck... as he's running he's saying WHITE HEAD! WHITE TAIL!..... I GRAB my camera which is still attached to the computer via the usb transfer line hahaha and almost yank the pc onto the deck with me....

I managed two shots and he got 6 great ones and 3 ok ones... when the Eagle caught the fish he was quite a ways down the lake from us.... but he still got him!

It's bad............ I'm having dreams about fish and eagles now lol..... i'm getting NO sleep ROFL

I can just see the two of you standing up in front of your public receiving an award and the two of you wrestling the trophy away from each other. Good Luck. Really great series of pictures. Just wonderful. Thanks

I may even like this better than a closeup - this shows it flying over the lake and homes!!

The highest resolution is very good. I didn't see the fish in the talons until I looked at the original size. Interesting how the eagle turned the fish's head into the wind to cut down on wind resistance. Interesting tag....I've never heard of a bald "headed" eagle before (pretty funny). I've wondered for years why these birds are called Bald Eagles since they are not 'bald'. Perhaps I'll look it up!!!

Looked it up.... as it relates to zoology: having white on the head. ie...the American Eagle.
Mar 16 2008 22:57 GMT LisaSam67 PRO
lol ya we call him mr white head now since in jeff's fury to get to the back door and me yelling... WHAT? that's all he could get out of his mouth haha
