Another photo from the Hood Canal near Seabeck last spring. An adult eagle chases a immature eagle who had just stolen a fish from a great blue heron.

All your comments and sugestions are very much appreciated.

Hey Ken,
Nicely handled and great timing, wonderful detail in the dark feathers. Interesting background that sets off the subjects perfectly and allows the viewer to really feel the action in this image.
Well done . . . devil

Great shot - like two fighter pilots engaged in a dogfight

I like the way the birds pop from the background. They have great detail and eye contact on both birds.

Very nice to get to bald eagles flying in such perfect focus. The large detailed image looks quite good for such a large crop.

Great flight poses Ken, and the mountain makes a nice bg. Nice work.

Outstanding Ken, I always like the "top of the wingspan" view. Detail looks good in both birds and the darker sky makes them pop.Great action scene! devil
