Wow Hal. Great capture even froma distance. I cant get over the difference in the wing span between the Eagle and the Osprey. I always thought the Osprey was big! #8500270

Now, there's some shot! Have to agree with Pat S., I'm amazed at the difference in wingspan between the two! What a wonderful shot...two raptors at once...I'd be flying higher than them if it was me who managed to capture this!! Well done(as always!), Hal! #8500768

A very amazing shot Hal! I think this is an incredible image with two such different birds. Even with the distance you nailed these two which is a rare event. Beautiful work. #8501340

Great capture. I'm sure it wasn't easy since these guys are definitely not standing still for you :-).... #8501378

This sure looks like gold to me Hal, it's a gem if I ever saw one!!! Over the Winter at the trout park I shot at they feed the eagles two buckets of trout a day. What I find funny however is the fact that once one goes in and grabs one, others will often mob it, even though there is a whole pile for the taking. I guess that's probably natural instinct but still funny. I hope we get to see this beauty again!! #8501605

Hal, your bird photos are always brilliant!
The sideways flight of these two reminds me of vintage airplanes at an air show, with all their tricky maneuvers. Outstanding stop-motion capture.
