Bald Eagle gets his Prey
Taken at Centennial Lake in Maryland. View my set from here as a slideshow...
I've been hoping to get a shot like this for months now. I've travelled to Mason Neck in Virignia multiple times hoping the eagles there would show off their talents. I've never come close there. This last week Ozoni11 posted some shots from Centennial Lake in Maryland and I've been a bunch of times since then and had many chances, and I think this is my best capture of a fishing Eagle yet.
