the dawn’s light flowed through the trees above the steaming river and edged the eagle and his catch in gold

Tagfishing attempt slide show
The 3 year old eagle tried 3 times to pick up the same fish from the river. I was attempting to photograph him and not fall in…water this time of the year is cold… So I captured what I could from my perch on the edge of the riprap. Hope you enjoy the juvenile eagle’s efforts while getting a small taste of some of the challenges of wildlife photography!

what you have
One eagle always wants what the other eagle has.
The 2 year-old eagle on the right had just caught a fish.
The 3-year old on the left tried to snatch the fish from the 2 year-old.
The fish was dropped and neither eagle won the engagement.
view
I felt privileged as this adult eagle flew in toward me and I could easily see the fish he had just caught.
glow
this early morning shot of an adult bald eagle and his fish was interesting…
I caught the sun, several branches of trees and the glow of fins and feathers
