After chasing a gull to make it drop its catch a bald eagle snatches a chunk of fish meat in mid air.

A Bald Eagle escapes with the remnants of a filleted salmon today at Point Holmes near Comox. Took this one hand held from my car window. Gotta love that 100-400mm IS2!

My consolation prize today for not finding any short-eared owls out at the local estuary. Got fairly close to this immature bald eagle. Wondered if he may have been a rehabilitated bird that had been released as he did not seem to have any natural fear of man. His tail still has a way to go as regards being totally white so I would guess he is probably about 3-4 years old.

A similar shot to the one I posted a few days ago. Really liked the head position on this particular image though for some reason. Flickr folks please left click for more detail.

There are some people that might say that this is a "money shot" but for me it's all in the bank. :-)
