Alaska – Bald Eagles at the Bay
A change of pace to a different inhabitant of Hallo Bay. There were numerous bald eagles perching and flying around the area there all week but I managed to scare pretty much all of them away. I got some decent stationary shots but none that I was particularly happy with until I got this sequence. We saw this particular eagle perched in the same place several times but he always flew away before I could get a lens on him. I finally got him near the end of the week…..a beautiful bird for sure!
The Launch
I especially like these because of the snowy mountains in the background.

RS – Thank you – I am always thrilled when I see bald eagles, and even more if I get a chance to capture them in a photo.

Thank You – are there any eagles in Texas?

Actually they do have sightings down at Lake Buchanan in the wintertime. The eagles migrate to Texas. They have a cruise of the lake you can take to view the eagles. The area is called Canyon of the Eagles.

I loved seeing the two shots back to back to get a sense of what it’s like to watch him take off.
I had the opportunity to see an eagle in the wild in Vancouver. So majestic.

Thanks Jeannette! We are indeed very fortunate to be able to go to some of these exotic areas – especially to photograph things like bears and wolves.

Thanks Marina – I kind of like the first one just due to the “lean” into the launch
