An interaction between an osprey and an eagle at Oxbow Bend in Grand Teton Natl Park
The osprey caught a fish and the eagle hassled him until he dropped it
The eagle took the fish
and the osprey tried to get it back, but no luck

best I could do hand holding the 500
Nice series and great story. Wish I could have seen it! I like the third shot with both birds.....

A buzzard looking rather majestic today. I wouldn't normally shoot birds in flight at 1000mm, because the autofocus is too slow and erratic, but I was taken by surprise and that's what I had mounted.

Handheld, 1000mm, f/10, 1/2000, ISO 800.

Few shots from my front yard - no flash.
