Description

Momma tore out of the nest this morning in a Big Hurry. She then ripped a Squirrel out of a tree and flew all around the nest as the baby`s watched. She flew about 5 circles around and then dropped it into the nest as the Eaglets made all kinds of chirpy noises. Couldn`t quite see them as the nest is built up high on the sides to keep them in but I could hear them.Never saw them take a Squirrel though. Captured at F/8,1/1000,Iso800,400mm,Dark Ugly Morning,rain coming!.

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/1000 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 800, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 400.00 mm, Model: NIKON D90

I suppose if they get hungry enough, they'll eat just about anything, huh? Fantastic action shot, Hal! #1236855

Great In flight capture

OK the Menu widens & Momma gets excited about it.
Maybe its like bringing a Mickey D's Kids Meal Home to your Rug Rats . You remember they are all excited,
this must be the Bald Eagle version.

Hope your weather improves....

Excellent capture Hal. It's so exciting to watch eagles. We stood in 18 degrees a few weeks ago and I didn't get any shots worth posting, but they are amazing to watch. Where is this? (PS I wish they would eat the squirrels in my yard! lol) #8369100
