The video of the photographer getting that shot was interesting. Trained eagle flying from a perch to the handler. The shot surprised even the photographer.

Agreed. While you could say this is "staged", to capture the shot at that precise second is still impressive. And we don't know how many time this photog or some of the others has tried to get a shot like this.
I posted this to bring attention to the majesty of the bald eagle and also to maybe inspire photogs here in SoWal to seek shots of the bald eagles we have here. I personally have at least one sighting per week between the bay or the Gulf, but never have I seen one with prey in the their talons. Can you imagine seeing, much less photographing one grabbing a fish out of the water???? (If you have seen this please do tell)
We are lucky to have an environment here that is ideal for them. And Ospreys as well.
