Eagles on the Chilkat River
Nov 9, 2018 23:17:58 #
Just returned from a week in Haines Alaska on the Chilkat River and Bald Eagle Preserve. Thousands of eagles congregating along the river feasting on chum salmon. All images were with a Canon 5D4, Sigma 150-600 Sport, ISO 1000-1600, SS 1/1000, and distances ranged from 100 yards to 25 yards.
Looks like a peaceful day in AK. Use the download and check out the smack down in the lower right hand corner.

The key is the high ground or air in this case to knock you opponent off the fish.

Now for the fish. The eagle on the bottom got up and chased the offender off.

Fantastic set. I can't believe that gull staying in the midst of the eagles. At my eagle spot (maybe 6 of them tops) the gulls take flight and avoid the eagle(s) as soon as they come into sight. Gary

Thanks for looking and double clicking to enjoy the details. A few of the eagles were skittish but most just didn't seem to mind humans right below the tree they perched in. Just don't set up behind the eagle.
