Bald Eagle Goes Fishing on the River

I spent a lot of time this morning looking for and following Bald Eagles along the South Platte River. Unfortunately none wanted to let me get very close. However, I was able to capture a fascinating (but poor quality) series of images of one fishing. The series here is actually this one’s third attempt to snag its breakfast. As you can see, it wasn’t successful – but it was a lot of fun to watch. Sorry for the poor quality. The action took place a long ways down river from me so these are very, very cropped.
