Eagles fighting over catfish

Last September I tried a new spot down river from where I normally set up since nothing was going on there.

I got rewarded with a forty-five minute show with four mature and four juvenile bald eagles fighting over a dead catfish. At some point all had some to eat I think and at one point even a great blue heron tried to move in but it realized pretty quick it was out gunned in this fight.

All shot with Canon 5dsr and 600/F4 IS II with the 1.4TC III at a range of about 100 to 120 yards.
All images are cropped.

I took these two months after switching to Canon from Pentax and this day made me realize I made the right move. I know my old K1 and DA560 5.6 combo would not have been able to get these.
