Bosque Bald Eagle

Among the many raptors we see during my Best of Bosque Workshop, the Bald Eagle is always a hit. This Bald Eagle spent most of the nice light far away in the “Eagle Tree” and finally decided to put on a show by harassing a Northern Shoveller. It must have dove on it at least a dozen times before giving up and flying away.

Bald Eagle Keep Calm and Fish On

One of the advantages of having so many years experience in Kachemak Bay in Alaska is knowing where to be when. When there is howling winds making the water rough, it’s hard to make pleasing images; for this image, my trusted Captain maneuvered us into a hidden protected cove where the water was flat. What started out to be a rather gloomy and wet day turned into a smashing success for everyone in my group. Learn more about my Eagles Galore (and so much more) Workshop CLICK HERE.

Bald Eagle with Fish in Golden Light

This 3.5 year old Bald Eagle (Basic III Plumage) put on quite a show for my group during my Bald Eagle Workshop. This image was made a split second before that out of focus wave washed into the front of my Sony 400mm f/2.8 lens; thankfully the lens survived without any damage.

I already have a few folks signed-up for next year’s Bald Eagles Galore and so much more Workshop, so don’t delay your booking for next March.
