2 Eagle Photos From Last Fall

These were taken on the small lake we live on here in MA.

The one diving into the water was after a mallard duck. We watched him for 10 minutes trying to get the duck. Unsuccessfully I might add.

Enjoy!

Cheers!

eagles nests in the area, so I know how difficult it is to capture these magnificent birds.

You did a great job, your photos are fantastic.

And 8 frames a second. Shoot enough pictures and one or two might come out.

First person shooter video gamers would call my strategy "spray and pray". And it would be a fair assessment. 😄
