I was lucky enough to take one series of shots of bald eagle catching a fish in Yellowstone. Then the same thing happened as we were canoeing on Mongaup Pond. We noticed an eagle sitting on top of a small tree across the lake and got closer. Then right as I started taking some pictures, it took off, flew over our canoe, and grabbed a fish not twenty yards away from us. Look more closely at the 5th and 6th shots (click on them to blow them up) and you'll notice
another fish cartwheeling through the air - the eagle's impact with the water has sent it flying.
I can't resist this - joke from a British comedy "Vicar of Dibley".
"Lightning never strikes twice."
"No, it does! My father was struck by lightning twice."
"Really? How did he feel afterwards?"
"Heavy."
"???"
"We buried him the next day."
If you haven't seen the series, download and watch it - very smartly written comedy with a good heart!
