Photographed at Conowingo in Maryland. The whitish line in front of the talons is the fish the eagle was about to catch.

What a great series of eagle action shots, Axel! This was beautifully timed to catch the pre-strike moment!

Thanks, Gene! Yes, he did catch the fish, they are pretty good at it, also at stealing the fish another eagle caught. :)
