Nature Is Amazing

I spend a lot of time in the outdoors photographing nature,birds, deer, butterflies,etc.,so i sometimes happen to see somethings that are rather unusual. Of coarse most would not believe me and i don't blame them as i have been a fisherman starting from the age of 7 or 8 which is now a very long time and have been known to stretch the truth from time to time.The other day i was photographing bald eagles on the Fox River in the Fox Valley. There were 3 adult eagles in a tree above the river and an immature eagle just below them on the frozen edge of the river. The young eagle located a fish just off of the edge of the ice and started to fly away with it. Just then an adult eagle flew out of the tree and attacked the younger eagle knocking it into the very cold icy Fox River! All this time i am taking photos of this with my camera not believing what i am seeing.I have spent years around eagles that were congregated and witnessed this one other time. Again it was farther than my lens could reach for great detail as in this photo. There were several eagles trying to get the same fish,it is hard to imagine how these huge birds can fly so close to one another,most were immature, when all of a sudden an adult eagle is knocked out of the sky and is now in the river! Now i can't tell you how weird that looks seeing an eagle floating down the river like a goose when it is an eagle! Just isn't normal! It took a lot of holding my breath and saying a few prayers before he flew out of the river! What a sight to experience! Now back to this immature eagle, he is taking quite a long time to get out, i was about to call 911! That would be a weird call! Wonder how many times i would have to repeat myself to them! You have a what?, a what?, where,etc! The youngster did get out of the river and the adult chased him for a little while then went back to the tree to perch.Keep your eyes and ears open and your camera handy and you never know what you are going to capture in the great outdoors.
