Yesterday we were on a road trip to the mid-island in search of Long-tailed ducks, unfortunately, they were way across the channel, tiny dots in the seascape. This Eagle was nearby begging to have his photo taken... well that is how I saw it : )
We have just returned from an amazing three days of photographing an Eagle family. The chicks hatched approx 24 hours apart during some of the worst weather I have ever seen in April. Incredible to watch the parents keep the chicks warm and protected with a wonderful gentle touch. Lots more photos and videos coming as I sort through all the photos my husband and I took.
The chase is constantly on for all raptors, gulls, crows, ravens, and vultures, even if these trespassers have no interest in the nest they can not fly over it without a serious confrontation. Once there is any type of chase the screaming begins and doesn't end until the trespasser is long gone. This is the male who just returned from a chase the nest is directly below, the female was on the nest at the time.
