Well worth cold pizza!
I think you could have used a slower shutter speed, e.g. 1/2000 or 1/2500 to catch the eagle coming off the branch (I get lots of eagles at that speed and light). I learned a lot from the webinar by Julie Steelman on NPN https://community.naturephotographers.network/t/wildlife-action-presented-by-julie-steelman/31684 in case you didn’t get to see it.
