Shout it to the mountains...
Well, this mature bald eagle isn't shouting anything at the mountains. No, it's being attacked by gulls, one in particular who didn't like this eagle roosting nearby to a gull hatchery. So this gull would do a regular flyby every couple minutes and had the eagle reacting as it did in this image. The eagle would rear up and cry at the gull and motion with its wings. Besides that, it was raining and the matted feathers tell that story. It was late in the day and evening was approaching, with the darkness exacerbated by a cloudy sky as it was July and the sun doesn't go down until rather late at that time of year.
Also, this was taken at the end of the spit at Homer, and that could well be China Poot (mountain) in the background.
Taken 15 July 2022 at Homer, Alaska.
