That's exactly where this bald eagle was heading... off to do a little fishing, but not in the usual way.
A fishing boat had just pulled into the marina with an open bait container on deck!
The eagle took off and flew in a big circle.
Gaining height rapidly
before diving back into the marina, blowing right through this stop sign...
only to perch again on a pole overlooking the boat, checking for people
Finally landing and making off with a fish!
Back home at the nest with dinner! Do you see the second eagle?
All photos taken by me, using a Nikon D750 and Tamron 150-600mm lens
Wow! Excellent shots and story! thanks for sharing.

Amazing photos and story @keithboone! That first photo is really stunning! I love the feather flex :) I'll bet the eagle hates the metal coated poles ;)

Thank you @stanleyparker! That first shot is my fav because of the wing shape, and also the talons. I'm sure you're right about the metal covered pole.

I should have mentioned somewhere in the post that this is in Ucluelet.

If you caught a bird, then do not hold it in a cage, do not make it want to fly away from you, but could not. And make it so that she could fly away, but she did not want to.
