Treetop Landing

view map

Eagles are everywhere, another good shooting day on the waterfront. The Herring fleet is still spread out and eagles were hunting fish and gulls. At one time we counted 9 eagles in one tree all pushing each other for the top branch. I am trying to get my shots down to a few good ones and after shooting well over 500 in two days it is a bit of a chore. The day was so beautiful and we met photographer friends and had some good fun. Today was a diamond day...

Big wings. Big talons. Big landing.
Does it get any better than that!!!!!
Excellent capture Jess. I wonder how far the eagles travel from their usual stopping grounds...to take advantage of the Herring?
Tricia06-Mar-2008 03:01
wow, this is beautiful, and to think you have another 499! What a wonderful experience it must have been to see so many eagles together.
