Every year about this time the Bald Eagles gather at a few spots in an area a good hours drive from where I live. They gather to feast on the salmon that die and it can make for some interesting shots. Last year on one day they counted around 2000 birds at one time. This year the fish are very scarce so not that many are around. Snow geese are usually seen as well as numerous species of other water fowl. Not this year.
For the last 3 weekends I've been going out to try and shoot a few and each time the weather hasn't cooperated. When the weather is lousy the birds tend to be very inactive and today wasn't an exception but I fell like posting something anywhoo so here goes.
This is the kind of day I was faced with
He's a little wet
I like the way the tail feathers are kind of transparent
A young bird learning from a mature one
A pole eagle
