Eagle Hunting

First we circle a few times to zero in on the fish

Talons open and inches away from the catch

I make the hit....SUCCESS!!

With catch in hand I make the turn to get to shore and eat

On my way

Almost there

Lunch eaten  so I leave this Fall setting

Will return to hunt another day

This 4 year old hears about the good hunting here but the gull wont allow that!

The immature 4 yr old leaves to find his / her own hunting spot
