Wow! This looks like a knock down, drag out battle! Must be some good eatin'! Great shot.

very nice behavior shot. I really like the look on the face peering out just below the outstretched wing of its adversary. I would consider a crop from the top of the frame.

Looks like the eagle in the FG is getting the worst of it. The flying snow is a nice touch.

Nice shot. It might be interesting to set up a hunting blind near the area and see if you could get some nice close shots.

Another nice shot Wally. I caught a couple fighting over a fish but the fish don't last long enough to leave much fight time. Couple gulps and it is gone. And if the guy will let you set up a blind it would be great.

Love the eagle peeking around the outstretched wing.
