Excellent capture, K! Great timing on this shot. I've been trying to get a shot like this for weeks. The eagles have been all over the place feeding on the late salmon but I haven't been able to get close enough for a good action shot. What lense were you using for this shot, and how far away were you? Congratulations on POTD! #932698Allan L. Whitehead November 23, 2004

James, Kathleen and Michelle - I travel for work and I ran into these on a river in rural Iowa on my way back to Kansas. Luckily, I had my camera with me. It was a lot of fun to spend the afternoon shooting pics of them. :)
Donald - The settings were f8, 1/1600. Hope this helps.
