As I reached the tree, one of the birds took flight, returning a few minutes later with the carcass of what looked like a crow in its talons. I could hear the seagulls over near Granville Island making a racket - the eagle had clearly ruffled a few feathers (groan). It landed on the nest and appeared to be feeding a youngster, though the size of the nest made it impossible to see directly.
I managed to get a good line of sight to the other eagle and was sizing up my shot when it started scratching its head. I fired off several in a row and was pleased to find one of them was just perfect, catching the eagle with its eyes closed and talons poised. In scratching its itch, so was my own, thankfully not with those talons :-)
