- Targets the prey , few hundred meters above the sea level
-
- Keeping eyes fixed on it’s prey still at that incredible speed flight downwards
-
- The moment the sharp claws holds it’s prey
-
- Flight back way up with the catch
-
- The catch of the day
-
- Just about to catch it’s prize of the day

These images were made along the Mississippi River located at L&D #14, LeClaire, Iowa. The winter time is the right time to photograph them simply because the eagles migrate from other parts of the Midwest to open areas of water near the lock and dams. This open water allows them to feed when much of the river(or other nearby bodies of water) may be frozen.
Location:
Lock and Dam No. 14 is located near LeClaire, Iowa on the Upper Mississippi River
