Early Morning Eagle Action

Left the house at 5:40 a.m. So glad I did :)
After bringing in a small fish, a mere 15 minutes after I arrived at 6:20, the parent landed on the NEAR shore - yippee! It stayed there for an hour, while the spot went from full shade to full sun. So neat :)
I was surprised to see no squabbling over the meal. The hierarchy is well established, apparently.
Canon SX50 burst mode at equiv. 1200 mm, edits in PSE 12 and Topaz Detail. Several are heavily cropped.
Thanks for viewing!

No question on who rules: the one on the left got to eat it all!

Shot this one a month ago. Foreground island and log is where eagle came to rest. Nest is in the tree on right side, across the river.

I enjoyed your series,especially where the eagle is looking straight up. It's great when they get closer.

WOW, the zoom on that camera is AMAZING if that's how far away you were. Of course your cropping really makes the photos even more sensational for those of us who will never have the chance to see these majestic birds. Thanks so much.

Thank you Linda. I just love seeing what's happening with the babes. These are great shots; you gotta love that SX50. I just hope you or Littlebiddie are there when they actually take off.

You continue to get amazing captures of these eagles Linda. It's enjoyable to follow their story as presented by your strong photographs. :thumbup:
