We watched the Bald Eagles fishing for a while. I understand I need a better tele lens than what I have now for such things as this. It will come. I started out from the truck on the road. Looking down into the canyon I was not sure if I wanted to climb down but found myself doing it!! Guy parked the truck basically just on the dirt road. Over to the side the best he could just so if people were around they could get by it. No where to park! Soon Guy and the dogs were coming too, the dogs found me first of course! We all made our way down into the canyon to the water. Not only were the Bald Eagles fishing, other birds were as well. Their were two adult Bald Eagles and a younger Bald Eagle. The younger one kept trying to take the older ones fish! Big fights ensued. If I did have have this stupid tree in my way!! So we moved locations so the tree would no longer be in my way, though we were in full sight of the eagles as well. So the young Bald Eagle took off out of sight. It did appear that the Bald Eagles were curious as to what we were, and why we were there! They checked us out several times. Than the ducks, and other wildlife left. All three Bald Eagles took off to the other side of the canyon and that was that. To my understanding that side of the canyon belongs to the Warm Spring Indian Reservation, though I could be wrong. The older adults perched in the same tree, while the younger one went into a tree where he could hide from our view. We seen some of his white, but he was not to secure as the older ones were about us seeing him! It was pretty obvious that this younger Bald Eagle was not comfortable around people, or what the eagle did not understand. Here are several photographs of one of the older Bald Eagles fishing.

Osprey Eating His Catch. If you want to see a expert fishing bird, this is it! The bald eagles have been known to steal these ospreys meal so they are always looking out for others to steal it.

Heron Bird fishing in the pacific northwest. Can you see how well he blends in?

Clear water here in Oregon, one can even see the fish swim!

Got fish?? One of the places I keep up with is the Wildlife Images Rehabilitation & Eduction Center. They called out for help. They need to feed the wildlife that is at their facility. Their 501 information;

Old fishing boat on the river.

Can You See The Trout, Life Depends On You Not Seeing It! I have better shots of this trout, though I wanted to make a point, and easy for people to see the trout. Life depends on camouflage for many creatures.

These double crested cormorant are rather common here in our canyon. Here we have one taking off on this very cold, cloudy Saturday. I wanted to show the trail this bird left as it takes off. I was on one of the bridges as this bird was taking off in flight. The photo at the end is a cormorant I caught flying low where the bald eagles were fishing.

Our day yesterday was a lot of fun! The weather was ok , the highs in the 40's the lows in the 20's. According to our trucks outside weather gauge. It rained, it hailed and it snowed. So you can imagine blue skies were hard to find. Wildlife was not hard to find, like most days. They still need to eat regardless of the weather. We climbed down into the canyon to watch three bald eagles fish and do what they do. We climbed out back onto the road and seen a golden eagle in a tree. He took off as we watched him go further up into the canyon another pair of bald eagle came out of no where and started attacking the golden eagle in mid flight. It is said the Bald Eagle soars at 35-43 mph. We watched this and got in the truck to go where the action was. We seen the bald eagles attacking for a little bit when the golden eagle went up high, and started attacking the bald eagles one at a time!

I like birds, always have. You will find I have many shots of birds of all kinds. This golden eagle was a character. First sighting of a golden eagle in the canyon for the both of us here. I noticed the tree he was perched in just did not look right. We were coming up out of the canyon where we were watching the Bald Eagles fish. This golden eagle did come out of no where to check us and the dogs out. Of course my camera was set up for the bald eagles..... This golden eagle really did startle us! This is the first photograph I got of him,

Many people come here in good weather to camp, boat, fish on and on. Many people do not get to see what we get to see in the winter. We chose where we wanted to go, and headed out. We were told of some snow but the weather channel is not real pacific here. A little snow mixed in with rain. Ok whatever what is new?? Than we got down into the canyon..... Saturday it just dumped on us! Snow is no big deal, it is the black ice we worry about!! More about my getting wildlife photography here in Oregon at my web site..... What we wont do to get that photo!!

This pair of Bald Eagles have been hanging around one of the lakes here for a couple weeks now. Saturday we had snow again, which is not a huge surprise. We took off in it and thought it was not a good idea to go down into the canyon so we headed in the direction of this lake. This pair of Bald Eagles we both agreed they must of came down from the Cascade Mountains for the better fishing and all around prey on what I call the flats. Not sure what others around here call this area. I call it the flats for one can actually walk it. I trekked out into the snow to capture these photographs. The one that is on the left is keeping it's eyes on me, that one seams to be the dominant Bald Eagle and the first to fly. The other followed.

Laurent Ponce came back, in last January, from a trip in Myanmar. To remember forever the faces of the people he met there and who have marked him deeply, he did a series of portraits showing inhabitants and passer-by he ran into. He explains that although it's an evolving country, the people still live a traditional life. For instance, they wear longyi (long skirt), puts thanaka (white-yellow cosmetic powder), hunt and fishing, and chew plants called Betels.

Lake Trout. Where we found these, there was more than one, was not a huge body of water which is going away fast.

Wildlife hot spot

Far from perfect: The composition of the page itself needs work and having larger versions of the images available would be nice. But we do get to have fun watching the photographer emphasize the fact that this is both a forest and a marine environment, as he shoots his colorful (but not garish) images through the ripples.
