At that signal, many of the eagles on the other side of the outflow take flight and snatch up dead/stunned fish that got sucked through the turbines.
There are usually a hundred photographers there when the eagles are present, and it is a cacophony of shutters clicking away when something is happening.
This was taken with a Nikon D-800, and an f2.8 400mm lens, on a Friesel U-Mount atop a Gitzo carbon fiber tripod. It was very cold that day too.
