Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
THis eagle would fly by low and then dip into the grass over and over. I thought it wa missing its prey…but when I zoomed in I realized that each time it had a small mouse or vol in its talons that it quickly ate before diving again.
When a Baldy flies just over your head, you are immediately impressed by its enormous wing span of 75 inches. I can only imagine what little creatures feel.
This juvenile bald eagle landed at the top of a younger tree out my window in the middle of a wind storm. You cant tell from this but it was swinging and swaying on a 4 ft arc. You can just see his yellow talons clinching the branch for dear life. I had to take this thru the window–I wasn’t going out there–pine cones were flying in like morters!
I saw this eagle taking flight and did my best to shoot from my boat that was bobbing up and down. I could tell it had something in its talons, but I thought is was wood. It wasn’t until I was editing that I saw the beak hanging to the left and realized it was a little duck…
The light was terrible, but he was posing!
