Thanks. I love these birds. Hope the chicks grow to be strong fliers and hunters.

Cripes, that first shot shows just how lethal those talons are.

Nicely done. These birds are great hunters. Witness the one carrying the fish. We call them Fish Eagles around here.

Wow. The last one is really cool. Is the gull attempting to be an osprey? I've never seen a gull come tearing in for a landing like that. Neat.
