The weather was bad and I had to work, so I have not taken any photo for a week. The following shots are of Bald Eagles at the Conowingo Dam in Maryland at the beginning of this year, two weeks ago. They were busy hunting for fish and glided regally against a blue sky as several dozens of photographers, just like paparazzi around celebrities, aimed their long lenses at them.

You got beautiful photos of the Bald Eagles fishing! I hope to see some this year as well – I’ve heard of a nest not too far from here.

Amazingly crisp photos. Do you have a favourite? I think mine is the one at the top – the eagle is somehow full of intent, as if it’s on its way to do something incredibly important!

I agree. That eagle was fully concentrated on something that it saw, probably a shad swimming out from the dam. Thank you for commenting!

Excellent images of the eagles! I’ve heard of the Conowingo Dam and eagles that congregate there in the winter, I wish that there was something similar around here.

Jerry, you should to Conowingo next fall around Thanksgiving. I was told that’s when the Bald Eagles have their convention there.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that’s close to 1,000 mile drive for me. I’ll pick off our more scattered eagles in Michigan one by one. 😉

Thanks Katelon! I’ll go back to that place in the fall when there are even more Bald Eagles. Should be quite something to watch and photograph.

Thanks Simon. You should see some of the Bald Eagles images of the professional photographers who have been at Conowingo Dam. I hope to go back there next fall to capture even better photos.
