Eagle vs Redtail

[Dmanmastertracker]

 A redtail picked a fight with the wrong guy today. First shot is modified, eagle only, second shot -same shot only you can see the head of the redtail come into view on the right.

Did you take those on Whidbey Island?  Couple of days ago I as drivingon Highway 20 and saw a red tail hawk sitting on powerines, and two eagle flying over him.  Nice photos!

 The offender sat in a nearby tree minus a few tail feathers, until the eagle flew him out of the country.

 These were on Lake Sammamish.

oh, I guess red tail's enjoy picking fights they cant win   Was there a nest near by, or a fresh kill?

[Dmanmastertracker]

 There are nest's for both species real close. I imagine they scrap pretty often.

 Thank you all for the kind words. I was in disbelief when I saw it, totally unprepared.
