Bald Eagles 2021 December 10

Two trips to see the bald eagles this year.  They first one was snowy and rainy.  The eagles were in hiding although we did see a few.  After our first visit we decided to go again.  We had a lot more success!  
Always a beautiful view!
It is so hard to get eagles in flight.  They move too fast.  Finding them in the camera is the challenge.  I did get a few. 

So much easier to snap a picture when the eagles are stationary.  





Love this picture.  I thought I was taking a picture of the eagle on the right at the top of the tree.  I knew there were a couple of other eagles close by in the tree but I had no idea I would a picture of 6 eagles.  One is hidden in the branches.  So cool. 
The gray ski and lack of sunshine made getting a good picture challenging.  




We took these through the spotting scope.  



I saw this picture and wondered how the back of the eagle is facing the camera and we can see it looking at us.  I researched and learned an eagle can turn it's head 180 degrees.  

It started to snow and and after over 2 1/2 hours outside in the cold that was our cue to pack up and head home.  You can see the snow if you enlarge the picture and look at the eagle's feathers.  
Another great trip to see the bald eagles at Wolf Lodge Bay in Idaho.  We will be back next year.
