Wow! Very amazing photo Maxine. Just haven't managed to get an inflight shot like this. Was trying again, but only got perched shots.
This one is Fantastic!

Nice "catch"--on your part and on the eagle's. That's a mighty turbulent pond; looks more like a river.

Thank you, Wunderground Friends and thank you to the Approvers for the honored "Blue". It was very windy and the pond actually had white caps on it from time to time. The geese really had to fight the wind. I'm sure they were wishing those darn eagles would go back to the nest so they could find a protected cove out of the wind.
