Hargis Eagles 2
Just about to grab a fish.
This is the second installment of the pictures I took at Hargis Creek Watershed in Wellington. It will take a few posts to get through all of them.
Yesterday I showed a sequence of a fish getting ripped apart while being caught. I got a second misfire as well. Today’s post starts off with the sequence. This fish looked to be in one piece, but hard to say if it lived through the experience. Without a doubt it had a story to tell the other fish.
The strike has been made and you can see the fish.
Hey look, it’s a flying fish.
As the eagle flies on, the fish drops back down.
Talk about a rough morning.
Circling in front of the water tower.
A flyby on the way to a landing.
Eagle One you are cleared for landing.
Landing successful.
Someone did catch the fish.
Beautiful bird.
Not seeing prey the first time around, this eagle circled and started another run.
A nice banking turn in the sun.
A dark eyed junco keeping an eye on me.
A very red eye.
