2009 Eagles

These pictures were taken on February 14 & 15, 2009, at Alton/Grafton & at Clarksville These pictures were taken on January 11, 2009, at the lock & dam at Clarksville, MO. The goose strayed into the eagles' fishing spot. He soon left. Eagles fishing (notice the fish in their talons)... ...and fishing... ...and fishing (the last eagle is carrying the fish in his mouth).

This eagle successfully caught a fish... ...as observed by the eagle above, that did not have a fish... ...who decided that the ownership of the fish was debatable. As he swooped down to snatch the fish... ...the rightful owner of the fish performed some interesting aerobatics... ...and flew away with his fish.

More fishing... The next four pictures are in sequence - spanning about 4 seconds. Throwing on the brakes to make the catch. Grabbing the fish. Beginning the ascent. Transferring the fish to the mouth. More eagles!

The following were taken at both Clarksville and between Alton & Grafton IL.
