This is peak for the (migrating) Eagles along the Susquehanna River. A recent count was at about 150 eagles. There was even a Golden Eagle spotted on more than one occassion, but I didn't get to see it.
If you live nearby, you've gotta check this spot out. It's almost a 2 hour drive for me.
This photo was taken on November 25, 2006 using a Nikon D200.

Nice and close! I've seen Golden Eagles migrating over Mt. Lorette in Kananaskis, Alberta, but they were only tiny black specks far, far away. So, lucky you!

Fantastic capture you really caught a shot that most don't get to see the underside of this magnificent bird with wings wide. I wish I lived close to there to be able to take photos also. Thanks for sharing

beautiful! I wish I had access to a spot like that. We have one little nest with 2 eagles. I have to spend hours and hours hanging out in my car just to catch a glimpse of them. It's hard to get good pictures of them in a location like I have but I still feel blessed to be able to see them.
rivadock4 (67 months ago | reply)
Great photo. I'll have to check it out. I've seen your photos all over flickr. And I think I was at the Nat. Zoo one of the days you were. See you around, Wayne

Wonderful action photo of the bald eagle. I find it amazing how such a big raptor can move maneuver through thickets of trees, their sharp eyesight certainly helps.
Your are invited to join and post this marvelous photo to
National Eagle Center
We would love to have your eagle photos in our group. Thanks for sharing!
