Bye Bye Birdy

[Eric Gofreed]

Not a good day for this American coot. When fish aren't readily available bald eagles hunt small mammals, ducks, seabirds, and coots.

Wow! Had you ever photographed a scene like this, Eric?

Nice catch - both for the eagle's lunch and your capture of the meal in transit.

It was a first for me

Wow Eric both of those shots are outstanding and the one with captured coot is unbelievable, the detail of the eagle in flight with his capture in his talens is mind blowing!! Thanks for sharing

What a great sequence Eric. Great shots for sure.

Both great action shots Eric showing the harshness of nature as well as its beauty.

What great timing Eric! I don't think of Bald Eagles being down in Arizona. Both images are awesome, and both look to have had some ground interference and yet you maintained focus perfectly.
