I took these pictures with my Panasonic G9 and 100-400 mm Panasonic lens from my deck. I set the camera on a tripod and use a cellphone app to operate the camera through my window.

I doubt an eagle or even this pair would have gone after a full-grown coyote, they are on the order of 2x or more the size of this Red Fox. Good shots, not "pretty" but illustrative of the predator prey relationship and how unless you are the peak of the pyramid there is always a predator above you on the "mean and dangerous" scale.

Wow -- good for you. You are as crafty as the bald eagle. I take pictures of eagles as well and often it is a case of being in the right place at the right time. You had all the preparation so when the event happened you were all ready. Great job with great results.

Shot by a local "hunter" I assume.
Clever hunting yourself.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that the eagles took down the coyote. It was dead when they found it. I have not seen or heard of a fox in this area.

That is a Red Fox, not a coyote. Coyotes are larger and gray. The animal the eagles are eating is red.

Good morning.
I hope I can clear up the red fox versus the coyote. I have been hunting coyotes since I was a teenager in Alberta. Now 78 years old. I hunted for many years in Utah and Nevada. We would hunt with lights all night long when they were most active. The government paid a bounty and the pelts were worth some real money then. I now live in WA state where we are overrun with coyotes. Here are some close up pictures from the last month or so. It is one of these coyotes that I drug across the fence so that I could get better pictures without a bunch of trees and willows in the way. I think the misconception simply arose because of blood on the carcass
Thank you everyone for looking and commenting.

OK, now with the other shots I can see the gray without the red.
And just maybe I need to clean my glasses or not do three things at once while surfing UHH.
