Excellent shot. Bald Eagles are about my favorite subject. Just watched two fly by with wingtips almost touching the the mud in the bay.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Thanks much, will post some more tomorrow. Evidently one of the mates was killed after an Osprey was trying to get a fish. The Eagle landed in a ditch only to fly in front of a truck and was killed. This was the only nesting pair on the lake.

Magnificent. I'm glad to see you starting to share your images. Shots like this inspire me to go shoot some osprey.

That is sad. Eagles will try to steal an ospreys catch. When a mate is lost, the survivor usually seeks out a new mate. Cross our fingers.

Thanks for all your kind replies! Lake Tarpon has changed like crazy in the 10 years we have lived here! Kind of sad, so much loss of habitat

Saw this today in Wyoming.
State Trooper picked it up off the highway.
I can see why... removing temptation!
