First of all, my love for eagles and all raptures prompted me to travel from the Las Vegas desert to this remote location in Alaska. After three days of shooting, these two eagles were fighting for the few salmon left at the end of the seasons' last run on the shores of Chilkat River. Like all nature shots, you watch, wait and stay on task.Editing
