Eagle version of the "cannonball"

Adult Bald Eagle dives down and extends its talons into the water to grab a fish for breakfast out of the Susquehanna River in Maryland on Sunday 11-29-2009. It’s not often that you park your car, walk 50 feet across the parking lot, set up your tripod with the morning’s golden sun hitting the water right in front of you and within the first minute, get a series of shots like this. But I got very lucky last Sunday. Most days don’t start (or end) like that).

For more information on Bald Eagles, visit the Cornelll Lab Of Ornithology.
