Coastal Brown Bears Dancing

Christopher Dodds February 2, 2024

We watched these two siblings wrestling in the rain for almost an hour during my Ultimate Brown Bears of Katmai Photo Tour. This frame makes it look like they are ballroom dancing (and rather good at it). This is another frame from 2010: I have been at this for a long time - smile!

Bald Eagles Grand Theft

Christopher Dodds November 19, 2022

Here are a couple of Bald Eagles fighting over a fish. You can see the frame before this image in a previous post: https://www.naturephotographyblog.com/blog/bald-eagles-fighting-over-fish.

Despite its fierce appearance, the bald eagle is a rather timid hunter. Usually found near water, it feeds mainly on fish, which it often steals from ospreys or other Eagles - smile.

Bald Eagles fighting over fish

A Bald Eagle reaching for a fish from another Bald Eagle. Fishing over and stealing fish is quite common because the Eagles are quite lazy and would rather steal fish from another Eagle or Osprey. This is from the middle of a 55 frame sequence that I kept from this chase - smile.
