The Bald Eagle, Flying By made a U-turn over the pond, then dropped down scaring off a Great Egret.

He was some distance from me and these aren’t sharp images, but you get the idea of the action that started feet first:

Hardly making a splash in the water.

Got a fish!

Then back to his tree to eat.

I realy like the second shot 🙂
Thank you! It’s quite amazing to see how these large birds fish.
And I’m standing behind a tree… completely oblivious.
🙃
Awesome action sequence, Ellen!
Thanks, Donna!
