I never get tired of seeing these gorgeous birds! Nice shot.
Yes, I got the whole series of the Eagle scooping down, catching the fish and then carrying back to the tree and eating it. The fish is in 2 of the pics. In one pic the fish is under his talon and the next one he is starting to eat it.
Yes, they are gorgeous. I was very excited to spot them...just wish they weren't so far away so I could have gotten some sharper images.
Great capture. Cute, cute, cute and yes...definitely a girl! ;)
Love the shot of the Egret carrying the stick!
@alicelongmartin: Looks like it's at a rookery and people placed those structures there to simulate where they like to nest. There is a huge Heron/Egret/Cormorant Rookery near my home where hundreds of telephone poles (not real ones :) have been placed out in the water and the Cormorants gather there by the hundreds.
And these were the first I have ever seen. :)
Sometimes it's just important to hurry and 'capture' them no matter what the conditions. He looks so regal perched there!
Yes, they make me sad when I see them in the pet stores. You are lucky to see them flying free. :)
Great capture! I have only seen photos of these.
