Successful grab!
This mature bald eagle has just successfully grabbed a fish out of the Susquehanna river (note the tail fins rising behind the body) with its right claw and will be on its way to a private lunch. It was not challenged for the fish like some eagles were. I love the column of water behind it still rising where the eagle had snatched the fish from the water.
Taken 13 November 2016 at Conowingo Dam in Maryland.
