Not sure if this belonged in this forum or Avian -- picked this forum because the picture is about an event and not featuring the eagle.
I watched the eagle bring in the fish from out in the gulf and he landed at the top of the tree about 100 yards out. The picture is a huge crop and suffers from all the problems of a big crop.
But the event is my story and I have never nor my never again see an eagle tree top with this big a fish.
Nice catch for the both of you. I'm betting this will move to avian. As you mentioned image is suffering due to the large crop. Nice pose by the eagle.

Very cool, Scott! I bet you couldn't wait to get home and see what you had on the card. That is a huge fish - really shows how incredibly strong these birds are!
