Canon SX60. Despite the zoom range, most of these are heavily cropped because I kept finding myself at the wrong focal length at the wrong time!
Thanks for viewing!
1. Mostly hidden in the gully, just the eagle's head is visible as it attempts to protect the choice carcass.

2. Cease fire? (didn't last long)

3. So much frenetic action, easy to be at wrong focal length at exactly the right time.

4. Incoming!

5. Most of the time it was one eagle against 7 or 8 ravens. Another adult eagle attempted to land and was driven off. A juvenile wisely chose to just fly by.

6. The air controllers must be on strike.

Linda,
Terrific series! It's a rare sight you captured. And you captured it very well, particularly given the rapid movement in the scene!

And you couldn't have done that if you were sitting at home. Awesome.

LOL, well there is that
Thank you for commenting Frank, much appreciated!Dec 2, 2016 09:41:28 #
That gang of ravens was relentless! I was rooting for the eagle but I guess he was outnumbered. This is quite a strong story telling series. Looks like you managed to capture all the nuances.

Thank you for your comments, Carol! It occurred to me I need a spotter (not sure if Trixie is up to learning the skill) to tell me when to pull back on the zoom
