Joachim and I went up to the Wildlife Reserves again today and the Eagles once again were roosting and displaying at Sacramento.
So for a year I've been making trips to Poole Harbour to see the wildlife but hoping to catch a glimpse of an Eagle from the re-intoduction project. I've tried walking, cycling, driving and various boat trips that have all provided a short view or two. But today I was in the right place and the right time when 2 turned up and even did a spot of hunting. An incredible sight to see 2 Eagles so close up.
As advertised this morning Toots and I went eagle hunting this morning and did I ever have a shoot. Not sure how much good I did but I shot a bit over 700 rounds. Bound to be some good ones in there somewhere. ;))

I saw this eagle carrying prey in my general direction and was excited to get some pics of it. I’m not sure what it caught. When I look at the animals head, it has a pointy nose with small ears and makes me think it’s a rat. But the tail? Certainly not the tail of a rat. Even my friend Lu, who knows wildlife, was thrown by this one. Any idea? (Bald Eagle – Haliaeetus leucocephalus) (Sony a1, 200-600 @ 600mm, f/6.3, 1/4000 second, ISO 640)

I thought it would be interesting to post these as a series. This is on a cliffside in the Kenai Fjord National Park, taken from our tour boat.They show that our national symbol is not always the mighty prdator we like to think of, but is often a lazy scavenger.
The final shot shows the eagle with the egg in its beak, also trying to maintain its perch on the cliff.

Bald eagle so close that it more than filled the frame ... and quite happy to show us all what it would be eating ... or so it thought. Some other eagles might have other ideas.
Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) get married to their partners--or as close to such as they can without engagement and wedding rings. They pair bond and stay together until death do them part, and that's really all that matters. In the wild, that can be upwards of 30 years! These birds were removed from the endangered species list less than ten years ago. Let's hope we continue seeing increased numbers throughout the country. And they need their wide open spaces...these beautiful birds will hunt in home ranges of between 1,000 and 10,000 acres, depending on the amount of food available.

A trip to the OKC Zoo provided some close eagle shots. These birds always have such a fierce expression. But, their voices are wimpy- don't match their appearance. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Had an hour to kill and went out to Nicomen Slough and got a few of the locals out enjoying the morning. Bald Eagles at Nicomen Slough, Mission, B.C.

Aquila reale (Aquila chrysaetos) all'oasi di S.Alessio - Pavia (Maggio 2010)
Taken at the Toledo Zoo on 2/28/16. The sun was really highlighting the white feathers of this eagle's head, so I dialed down the exposure compensation to accomplish a dramatic effect.
When the tide was out we would see the Eagles foraging in the tidal zone. This male Eagle is returning to the high trees at the mouth of the river.
A kelp bed/forest covers the water, the kelp grow in dense groupings much like a forest on land. These underwater towers of kelp provide food and shelter for thousands of fish, invertebrates, and marine mammal species. Kelp forests harbour a greater variety and higher diversity of plants and animals than almost any other ocean community.
