I was out shortly after sunrise looking for loons but I found this eagle sitting in a near by tree fishing! I missed the money shot when he grabber the fish (I got 2 blurry frames of a big pine tree trunk 
) but was happy with the rest! They are a magnificent bird to see! If you download and zoom in on the last shot you can see the fish in his talons.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I was very lucky to be in the right place and at the right time. The sun was high enough over the mountain and at my back as he took off so I could use a fast shutter speed,(1/1250 sec.) that helped. I have a Canon T6i with the 55/250 kit lens. That's the best I can do for now.

(I'm still using my T1i. So you're five revs ahead of me.
