Excellent and very beautiful set, Linda, and really shows off you skills with the SX60!
Thanks so much, SC! I've only had the 60 for a month or so. It's the 50 I have used for over three years now (wearing out the first one with all those burst mode shots - lol).

What a wild scene...great set!
A great way to describe it, Bob. They spent so much energy fighting each other! But I guess that's pretty common with many species in many scenarios.

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.

Wow!! Linda...
I love the action, the drama, and the telling of the story with your incredible shots that i'm sure were handheld! we're you shaking from the thrill of it all?

Is this meant to be an subtle allegory about current political events, with the eagle representing Trump, the ravens as Democrats, all fighting over the right to feed on the carcass of a once great nation?
Or just an image of nature and dinnertime? Successful either way!

Quoth the raven "Never more" Great capture. Besides numbers, I suspect the ravens are more intelligent birds and could outwit the eagle.

Love your captures!
I have an SX60 too and I'm wondering what settings you use for birds in flight.
Do you set your shortcut button to BIF?
Thanks.

Great series, Linda. How great to have this wildlife so close. Makes me want to use my SX60 more.
