    A Bald Eagle was soaring in circles over the Dixon Entrance not too far off the beach slowly making its way closer above me. I took a few photos of it but it was far enough away that I couldn't see that it had a fish in it's talons the whole time it was circling. If it already had a fish why would it continue it's flight this way. A bit of a mystery to me!

    Very sharp focus Harold, nicely captured. One of those shots that tells more of the story after capture.

    A beautiful flight shot in every detail. The fish mystery adds to the story.

    Nice shot, Harold, in poor lighting conditions! I'm trying to get better at that.
