I went out this week to take a few autumn photos and stopped by one of the shallow bays of the river to see if I could get any bird photos for the Feathered Friends Community.
HEREGetting away from the computer screen also provides me with a post for the Ecency Discord topic this week. @beeber asks us to write a post about an Off Line Activity that we have done this week. You can read about #edtopic
It was a beautiful day to be outdoors and there were geese, ducks and gulls and across the river was a Great blue heron wading along the shore. I was taking pictures of these crows when, across the river I saw a bald eagle.
I was watching and waiting to see if it would come closer when suddenly it landed in the water.
At first I was wondering if it was taking a bath, as it was splashing water everywhere. But then I saw the tail of a fish!
The eagle tried a few times, but the carp was too big and heavy for it to get airborne, and using its powerful wings it began swimming towards the nearest gravel bar.
I wish these photos were National Geographic quality, but this was the best my camera could do at this distance.
I was watching the eagle eating his fish dinner, when a 2nd mature bald eagle appeared.
The eagle with the fish puffed up to look big and threatening and the 2nd bird did not approach closer.
It was beginning to get dark, and my photo quality was getting worse, and I did not stay to see if the 2nd eagle got to have any leftovers after the fisherman had eaten his fill, but for me this was a once in a lifetime experience.
A swimming eagle! Nature at its finest!

Oh nice what a dream.
It was amazing to watch, all the while I was wishing my telephoto lens was not sitting at home in the camera case! I was expecting to take photos of pretty leaves!
I really like the picture of the eagle where it looks like he's running on the water. But they are all great shots.
Some great offline activity and the nature looks great there.🙂
Wisconsin has some lovely outdoor spaces and wildlife!
Indeed.. Nature at it's Finest.
Hehe, You captured every moment which is really Awesome.

Wow. These photos are very impressive. It must have been fantastic to watch this.
I am so happy for you that you had this great outside journey!
It turned into more of an event than I was expecting!
That is SO amazing. What a wonderful moment you got to witness. I have never seen such a thing. What a smart eagle !
Great post !
I've spent a lot of time outdoors, and that was a first for me!
Wow thats cool! The kind of thing you only see if you spend alot of time watching eagles 😉 Looks like this break from screentime was a huge win 😁

Oh what a handsome bird you saw! He dived straight for the fish. Very funny, he climbed ashore. Amazing bird. Thanks for sharing.
I have watched Eagles catch small fish. They just swoop down, dip their feet in the water and continue flying with a fish between their talons. It all happens quickly. This was a big catch. I have never seen an eagle swim before.
Seeing birds of the wild at work. A case of being at the right place at the right time. Just great! What an experience!
It was a once in a lifetime experience for me! I was thrilled to get to see that eagle swim through the water.
Moments like this, we marvel at nature. Precious.
Have a great weekend.
Wow, watching eagle catching fish! I am sure it was exciting to be there at that time and to see even two eagles. 🙂
It was an incredible experience!
I've seen eagles catch small fish before. They just swooped down dip their feet in the water and fly away with the fish. It all happens so fast that you hardly realize what you have seen. But to see this one catch that big fish and then swim in the water with it was an amazing sight to see!

Truly had to be most amazing watching the beautiful eagles in action.
❤ Amazing Nature Spectacular, fantastic, thrilling photos and post @melinda010100 .
I wonder how often they actually swim through the water like that? It was a sight to see and I felt so lucky to be there!

BEER.I also go to a similar lake to photograph birds. But we don't have eagles like that.
