As far as I know, fish don't usually swim at the surface.
It's pretty incredible when you think about it.

And yes, these shots are also incredible!!!
Actually I think the fish was dead. In the first picture you can see a litle white spot in front of the eagle. I believe that is the fish.

Many times I have seen eagles at Quabbin Reservoir scoop up live salmon and trout that were feeding on the surface.
