In this video taken Sunday March 20th I had a chicken fight with a large bird at 2:23 and although it hard to see at 3:38 I saw the most beautiful Bald Eagle with a fish as big as his wingspan in his talons prior to dropping it on the sand. I departed the area so I'm sure he went back to claim his prize.

I almost hit a Bald Eagle last year about a thousand feet over a river, and that was the last time I intentionally flew down a river. (And it was on ATC order to fly that heading)

Looks like a good time though!

Chris, were you using a hood cam to shoot that video. It didn't to jiggle very much at all.
