Simply Stunning !

A MAGNIFICENT bald eagle carries a herring in its talons after grabbing it from the water.

The powerful birds of prey flock to a sea inlet in South East Alaska at this time of year to feed on MILLIONS of the tiny fish which gather to spawn.

Photographer John Hyde, 55, said “The herring provide the first plentiful supply of food for the eagles since the autumn, and they are hungry.”

Eagle talons pwn, in both baldies and goldens. I've held eagles - and I can tell you, their talons look HUGE when they are next to your hand. XD
