Never Know What You Might See !

Hiking A NE Gate to the water (ice) presented an eventful morning.
Once reaching the ice, distant  movement  caught my attention. About a half mile down the reservoir and a good distance from the shoreline sat two mature bald eagles.
Off I went closing as much distance as possible. Arriving at a small point was as close as this situation was going to present. It didn't take long for things to  become interesting. Two immature eagles came into view with one of them thinking its was going to take the small scrap from the mature eagle ( pic on title page)
A " CLASH" it was!

The mature eagle managed to keep the scrap and the immature eagle headed east flying over my head.

 The confrontation took place quite a distance out on the ice. The pictures poor as they may be, support the sequence of events. Sure made for an interesting and eventful morning.
