Day 6 in Alaska

Today I worked on getting some flight and action shots. I found a great spot lower on the bank right across where there was a lot of salmon and the eagles were all around me. On my side of the river they were taking off and landing right above my head. One eagle was perched on a tree in front of me and another came over and body slammed it right there! Another swooped just a few feet from my head - enough for me to duck down. At one point I heard someone behind me and it turned out to be an eagle walking through the woods on the ground. There was a piece of salmon about 10 feet behind me (someone must have dropped it there) and it just walked right over. Right across the river was plenty of action and opportunities for flight shots, plus we had some decent light, so I was very happy with the results. It was fun watching the eagles and also getting some good photos.
