Eagles Fishing

A family on a family fishing trip last week was treated to an eagle picking up a fish very close to the boat. Actually he missed on the first pass swung right back and picked up a big shiner on the second pass not twenty five feet from the boat! Of course I was completely flatfooted with my camera not even turned on. As luck would have it though my client got a photo with his phone that I was sort of proud of.

Only today I got a link of video posted by fellow guide and Megunticook Lake Warden Ken Bailey. Much better than the photo that I did not get and even better than my clients photo. Take a look. As eagles have become more common we are seeing much more of their daily activities on various trips.
