I have been trying to get this kind of shot for 2 years. When the eagles fight it is always over the water at a far distance and the interaction lasts a second or two only. I have spent hours with my longest lens and 1.4 just waiting to get lucky. Well today I got 2 images! They are fighting over meat thrown out on the ice by a local farmer.
