It happened, and we were in awe. An eagle landed in the tree across the street. Perched on a branch, he was hunting for dinner.
The black water is actually a school of fish that the eagle was keeping an eagle eye on. The eagle made a call …
and then there were two.
Every once and a while one of them would swoop down to snatch a fish from the water.
It was pretty amazing.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Once an eagle swooped down in front of me to grab a mouse. It happened so quickly and then he was gone. Wish I had photos to relive the moment. You had both the experience and the photo. You can share with us and to recall the details. Thanks for sharing. Awesome photo.

Mary…this is just awesome! We get excited if we spot a hawk! I’ve never seen an eagle in person…I know it was a thrill for you!
XO,

I never tire of watching eagles! They overwinter in my area. I live on a lake & they perch in the trees in my back yard & along our bank. It’s the most awesome site & their call is very distinct. We have a contest in our family to see who can spot the first eagle each fall.

That is amazing!!! When we were there, we saw the same thing!! Fish causing a ruckus in the water below – and an eagle swooping down to scoop up his dinner! You truly live in paradise!
