...I encountered this afternoon on a beach walk. He had just landed atop a large rock surrounded by the surf. He wasn't pleased when an otter suddenly surfaced and climbed up onto the rock with a fish in its mouth. Immediately the raptor pounced, but to no avail. The otter escaped with his fish and I caught this somewhat blurred shot of our beautiful national bird having a bad day. To see all the participants in today's ABC Wednesday, click here.

Well done. I've not been able to get this close--even with a zoom.
Maybe a bad day for the eagle but, yours, after such a shot, is definitely a good one!
Wow! Fantastic capture! Well done.
I love the way you captured the eagle with his talons outstretched ready to pounce. Terrific.
