Well, I went out yesterday for the first time in 2 weeks. Ended up not getting any waterfalls because I worked during the week, and didn't want to waste gas not knowing if any falls were still flowing on the weekend. Sooooo, first destination, my favorite eagle spot. Only seen 4 there, all too far away for pictures........blah. So I continued on the route, but since I had other things to do afterwards, I took the short route. I almost make it to the highway, and seen the most bald eagles I've ever seen in one spot. They were EVERYWHERE! They would fight over the chicken that was obviously left for them. One would fly, and drop it in it's frantic flying to get away, another would swoop down and pick it up just as it would a fish out of the water, without landing. Too neat! I took a video and got this
I then took this shot of these two. Way cropped, but still a neat photo.....
As I drove off, about a 1/4 mile down the road, I seen this in the tree line. Had to stop again just to take it.
So even though there wasn't a lot of good closeup shots for the day, I think it was a major success due to the sheer numbers of eagles I seen. I'm lucky to live in spot with so many eagles this time of year. Now to figure out how to get closer to them, :)
