My Fav Moment: The video of the eagles locking talons and the picture where the 3 eagles are aligned with the fish in the air... Just beautiful... Awesome video... Watched it with my 7 year old... He was much more excited than I was... Screaming WOW several times in the middle of the video...

Good observation about the dropping of the fish by a mature eagle and being picked up by an immature eagle - could well be a training exercise. When I saw the mature eagle dropping the fish, I thought what's that about? Didn't seem to be a good reason for the mature eagle to be dropping the fish. Then you suggest training for the younger eagle...makes a lot of sense. Your eagle shots are worthy of National Geographic, Great work. Thanks so much.

Highest compliments to you, Mark, for the excellence in your photography, and narrative abilities . Your knowledge and experience with these magnificent birds is truly remarkable and appreciated. One thing that stood out to me , was the adult eagle dropping it’s catch while being pursued by the juveniles. Parent eagles are wise, and I’d like to think it released the fish , to have them “scramble” and learn to work for it themselves. Lots of fun to watch! 🦅🙌

One of the BEST and most exciting videos. Love the way you took time to explain what was happening. I agree that maybe the adult Eagle was teaching the juveniles how to hunt for and catch their prey, as well as how to keep other eagles from stealing it after the catch. Thanks for sharing. Amazing Majestic birds!

"Cartwheeling", as you captured at the end, can express either bonding or agressive behavior. Watching it happen in the wild is a "once in a lifetime" experience! When eagles fish, aren't you often led to wonder just what the poor prey, still alive, is thinking, suddenly finding himself in the air high above the only home he's ever known?

The eagles did not disappoint. Highly recommended for anyone to visit. I did not expect the excitement of the aerial battles. Sometimes it was just fun to watch and enjoy the show. I will definitely be returning.

We’re experiencing an exhilarating bald eagle show on Lake Coeur d’Alene Idaho. The salmon come in to spawn and the Eagles migrate to feed for about four weeks this time every year. The excitement is just exhilarating above water as it is below water as I was able to experience it as a scuba diver for many years!! Thanks for the camera settings, they’re very valuable and saves a lot of frustration! Excellent video-Happy Holidays!
