Re: eagles

Ya I did Kitty. Have a few of him in the tree near us but we were too far away when he took the fish. It wouldn't look like anything.

Quite generous of you, David. Did you have a camera at the ready?

Hey Daryl

Watching a bald eagle catch salmon or trout is a great experience. But they
get many of their fish from stealing them from Osprey in mid-air. When
Linda (my wife) and I were in Kodiak I caught a nice 18" Dolly Vardon and we
happened to look up and see an eagle staring down at us. Usually I catch
and release but this time we offered the hapless fish to the eagle who after
we backed off quite a ways swooped down and took it off the rock we perched
it on. They truly are majestic creatures.
