More photos of the Bald Eagles at Colonial Lake, NJ, taken three days ago.
About a week ago, Colonial Lake was stocked with 170 Trout. That may explain why Bald Eagles have been coming there to fish, although other lakes in New Jersey were also restocked with Trout, mainly for recreation fishing by humans.
For some reason, the half-eaten fish fell to the ground (I did not know that until much later when I passed by the tree the Bald Eagle was on).
Nice shots!

Wonderful photographs. Eagles are just so majestic. I found an article with photos showing an eagle allowing a crow to hitch a ride in mid air https://noelliesplace.com/2019/05/18/piggy-back-rides/

WOW!!! Oh to be able to capture a magnificent Bald Eagle as you have, Hien! Glorious captures! Perhaps this bird rejected part of the fish because is was contaminated with pollution. Ya never know ….. Thank you! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks Amy! It could be they were too full of fish. The lake was stocked with trout about ten days ago, and the Eagles, Herons, and Cormorants have been feasting on them.

Thank you! Since the DDT fiasco, there have been laws protecting Bald Eagles, and one can be fined for even collecting a feather. They have made a come back though, and we are seeing more of them every year.

Superb bird photography. I’m always amazed at how sharp your focus is. Are these hand-held shots or from a tripod?

Thank you, Vicki! When the bird is stationary I try to use a tripod, or even a monopod. However, when they fly, I have to shoot without any support. If there is enough light, I can often shoot at 1/2000 or even lower speeds and the results would still be sharp.
