Bald Eagle 2
I was outside working when I saw a movement out of the corner of my eye. I saw an osprey in a dogfight with a bald eagle. By the time I could get my camera ready, the eagle had landed in a dead tree and the osprey had flown away. I got close enough to the eagle to take a couple of good photos of it.

Very nice catch!

Thanks.  This is a 40X photo.  (That's the limit to the telephoto on my Canon camera.)   I was about 75 to 100 yards away from the eagle.  That was a close as I dared to get.  I was afraid it would fly off if I got any closer.  We have a bald eagle that visits where I work regularly.  I'm guessing this is that one.

Maybe you should keep a camera with you all the time ;)  

Have you guys ever named him?

Actually, I do keep a camera with me all the time at work.  It's part of my job.  I even have 5 SD cards in case I need to change jobs in the middle of doing one.

We've never given the eagle a name mostly because we only see it perhaps 4 times a year but it is an awe-inspiring sight especially when I see it soaring relatively close to the ground.

You're welcome.  I'm still hoping to see it soaring close enough to the ground that I can get a good photo of it.

I should be seeing a soaring eagle in the next few weeks.  The ospreys are setting up housekeeping which means the eagles will be looking for opportunities to steal them a fish or two as the ospreys try to feed their families.
