A few months ago, I watched a bald eagle swoop down from about 150ft (he circled and zagged) and grab something from a little lake just North of Forresthill, Ca.

I tried to get a pic with my cell phone but he was too far away. I waited, but he never came back.

Back in the Summer of 1999, my then 8 year old daughter and I were fishing from a small boat in a High Sierra lake when a bald eagle dropped out of the sky near us, hit the water, and then flew up over our boat holding a trout that looked to be about 15 inches long. Water dripped on us as he flew overhead. He landed in a nearby dead pine tree on the shore and ate the trout as we watched.
