Eagle Pics

ishoot308 · 07-10-2013, 02:22 PM

I was out fishing with my 14 year old nephew early this morning. He caught a nice rainbow trout (actually he caught a bunch and I caught nothing!) and we released it. Before the fish had a chance to regain consciousness, this eagle came swooping down and picked him out of the water right behind the boat! This time I had my camera ready as I had just taken a picture of my nephew with his fish and caught these pics...

Cool Pics. Good thing you weren't holding the fish up in the air....

I wonder how many Eagles are in the area now? I saw one in Wolfeboro Bay on Monday but didn't have my camera....of course.
