Got two good shots of BIF and a vulture trying to steal an Eagle's meal. It didn't quite workout for the Vulture.

Great shots. I just left my spot where I saw a juvenile. Still can't get close to them. Your eagles are more trusting. Your vultures are crazy too. Gary

Terrific photos!

The ones here have to contend with magpies. If you see a tree with 10 magpies, you know to stop and look for the eagle with a fish :)

Great captures. The first one is a wonderful action shot and the second tells a story. Makes one wonder what happened.

I watched the Eagle bring the fish. He sat there for quite while and the vultures moved in. One tried to distract him while the other cozied up and finally tried to steal the fish. Obviously, it was the wrong game plan .
