Okay I promise tomorrow no more eagle pictures.  I won’t promise for how long because Thursday my 3rd replacement lens comes in and that means Saturday and Sunday I’ll be back in search of eagles.  But at least tomorrow sans eagles.

However I will finish up with the battle for food between the three eagles from yesterday’s post.  For all his huff and puffiness the eagle on the left became pretty tame for a while, especially after the other two gave him a couple of wing clips to the noggin,

After a brief res-bit and some posturing things took a dramatic turn in favor of the intruder.  One of the trade offs for 11 fps is the buffer fills up pretty quick and then I have to wait for the camera to write a RAW file to the card and empty some of the buffer.

So this is the last image of the scuffle and then I had to wait for the buffer to clear.  You can see by the image below that some stuff happened between images. 🙂

Yes he was successful in getting some of the food from the other two eagles.  What I cannot show you is that in a few minutes a juvenile showed up and pretty much cleaned house.  At least he grabbed the food and successfully fended off the three adults.

Great fun for Jeanne and I to watch all this.  It was reasonably mild temperature wise and the light was beautiful.  Anytime I can watch eagles in nature it is a wonderful time for me.  The opportunity to photograph them is just a real blessing.

Enjoy your Wednesday.  Thanks for stopping by and be careful.
