RIGHT TIME AND PLACE!! I was standing in my back yard an hour ago with phone in one hand talking to a friend and my camera in the other when I saw these two Bald Eagles dive bomb each other, interlock Talons and spiral to the ground! I heard them hit the ground with a thud on the other side of my fence and then they took off right after each other. I managed a couple one handed pictures with my Nikon D 5300 as they were falling. Made my day! They did this several other times a lot further away. I have seen this in the past but first time close by and with a camera ready.










They continued several times till almost dark, further away.

Here are a couple other pictures I took around my yard.

Heron Catching Lunch







He even got this worm that was not giving up without a fight!



Robins getting lunch to go.



I even saw my first Osprey of the season way off in the distance.






"By The Dawn's Early Light" Sky before sunrise in my back yard was awesome this morning.

I dont know how you do it. Its one thing to get a crappy picture of something like those eagles tangling but to get the shots you do is amazing.

Crazy birds need to learn to get along! Do you know anything about that v-22? It looks like possibly a vip transport or something with the stripes and the flag on the tail.

It is the Presidents V-22, HMX-1 out of Quantico, VA.
