The Side Slide
Move over Michael Jackson, here comes the Bald Eagle showing how to do it better. The eagle was eating away a dead carp fish (earlier picture) when it decided to jump off and slide on the ice float of the frozen Otonabee river. May be he needed a bit of stretching. This photo is made from two consecutive shots and stitched together in Photoshop. A little later the Eagle tried to walk back to the fish and found it hard to do. So he took the short cut, flew back on the fish to resume his eating. Such a fun to watch and photograph this magnificent bird. Initially there was a female eagle eating away the fish and this male was waiting patiently on a tree nearby for her to leave. When she eventually did this male descended on the fish and worked on it for an hour.
