My wife and I went to the Conowingo Dam last week. The eagles were far on the other side of the river most of the time. Here are a few pictures when they came closer from two different days.

WOW! You nailed that Catfight! All are great, but the eye of that catfish is a 1 in a million capture.

In my opinion the juvenile ones are not worth photographing.
The first two pictures with adult birds are really good and the last one is interesting ornithologically but less from a photographing view point.
It was something new to see the bald eagles catching cat fish.
What lens and camera did you use?

I use a Nikon D7200 with the Nikkor 200-500 lens.
