I have taken dozens of photos of bald eagles around here but haven't seen many golden eagles. I was very glad this one posed.
Getting the fish is the easy part ... keeping it from the other eagles becomes the real challenge. This early hunter scans the skies for trouble as it passes by with its prize heading for a perch to eat.
This is from last Saturday morning along with the previous two photos. Here the sun was out with a blue sky.
Mom & Dad eagle sitting together. A fairly rare scene. Dad eagle is the one in the foreground. The female is the larger of the two.
With good light, I was able to stop down my lens and still good an excellent ISO 250.
Thanks in advance for taking your time to view my work. Comments are always fun to read. Have a great weekend friends!
This female has her talons full of grass and mud to add to her nearby nest. It will not be long before she will be posted on her newly designed nest. Just before this photo she chased a 2nd year eagle who had to take shelter in a near by tree. Next Photo.
Well as my good friend Brad would say, "I have been going through my archives and found this!" This one was taken on one of my first trips to central Osceola County near Kenansville, FL. What a first day I had shooting the eagles. Just want to thank Danny Erdocio for taking me out that day!!!
I think I have one with 5 but Toot and I are off on a excursion this morning. She needs a good run bad.
Will catch up to your streams this afternoon

Approximately 4 months old this juvenile watches his parents and older siblings then gives fishing a try.
Cloudy day, but Sun came out all of a sudden so I ran to river, nothing going on but spotted this pair of eagles about a mile up river, drove up and took a few from the road. Esopus Meadows
Taft Historic District, Lincoln City, Oregon. Gulls harassed this bird several times in the half hour or more that it was sitting in this tree. It flew and returned several times. I was surprised that it returned until I saw a well hidden recently fledged juvenile bird in the same tree. Also, I was surprised that only one person apparently saw this bird and no one saw the juvenile before they both flew to the opposite side of the bay and landed in the driftwood. The adult bird was vocal at times. The tree where they were perched is directly above a busy walking path. Closer to home Bald Eagles along the Yakima River rarely let me get this close. Not a very good photo but the only Bald Eagle I have photographed in Oregon as far as I can remember. IMG_3749
This is a juvenile Bald Eagle at the falconry of a local wildlife park. I have been told that these birds only get the typical white head at the age of four. Bald Eagles can reach an age of 40 years or more.
At work picking this salmon clean. It is striping of the skin to eat. The skin is very high in fat and calories so that is one of the first parts they eat.
Nothing like seeing a bald eagle close (or an owl for that matter).

A sunset photo at the Nooksack River. He has that look of satisfaction after a day of eating salmon. Fool crop, warm sun and a comfy perch.............life is good.
Father & Son Golden Eagle Hunters, in the remote Altai Mountains of Mongolia.
I revisited this remote area with crew from the BBC's Human Planet documentary series. My portfolio of images was used worldwide in a Trilogy by Lonely Planet called 'Mongolia's Lost Secrets". You can find the 3 part story here www.lonelyplanet.com
This eagle was content to sit and watch as I took a few photos. When a man with a dog came along it flew away. The mate to this bird is in the photo titled Eagle Post Number 3. That one spooked and flew away to join this one in the tree. When I returned to get both in the tree they both flew away.
The American Eagle Foundation works to protect our Eagle population. Dollywood houses Bald Eagles that have been injured or for some reason would not survive if returned to the wild. There is a "bird show" right next to the eagle enclosure. You can learn about all kinds of birds, many of them native to East Tennessee. It's located in Craftsmans Valley. Just follow the creek.
Note: I mistakenly posted two of this shot, so I deleted the other one. It came right back. So if you see two of this picture, . . . . . well, I tried.
Fish check in progress ... I think I have that same look when staring at a bowl of hot apple pie and ice cream :)
A Bald Eagle ruffles it's feathers after resting on an oak branch at Swan Lake. This is the same eagle I uploaded earlier. I took so many shots of him after he landed, I'm only just starting to sort through them now.
