The rest of the story

We have a breeding pair of eagles just outside Kirkwood Missouri on Simpson Lake. As I was setting up my camera I spotted a pair of eagles flying together as they often do just prior to mating. Then out of nowhere a third eagle attacked and chased off the male of the flying couple. Then he chased the female into a tree and proceeded to squawk at her vigorously. It became obvious that she had been a bad girl and he was not happy. She took his tirade for awhile as in the second photo then she turned to him and bit him… I missed it.

I was using a 800mm f11 lens on a canon R5 mark II. I believe I was shooting a shutter of 1/4,000 and an iso of 3200.
