Food Fight

The last of the eagles I'll post from my recent trip to Maryland. Here two sub-adults are fighting over a fish the younger of the two eagles caught. Taken late afternoon with mostly overcast conditions against a fairly high contrast background.

Excellent catch. Clearly the lighting conditions were not optimal, but when you go for an action shot like this one you can't choose - and there is enough detail on the eagle's faces to really make the picture. You do need the large version to see this, though. Great work.

Good timing, wonderful action shot. I would love to see this really large! Looks like Junior has lost it's fish.

Awesome capture of the this interaction Charles. The light was unfortunate but still a strong shot.

Super action Chuck, bummer about the drab lighting but nothing you could do about that.
