Nature - Wild

I Spent Four Days On The Upper Delaware River On The Boarder Of Pennsylvania And New York, Helping The Eagle Institute With Their Annual Winter Eagle Count. The Bald Eagles Migrate Down From Canada And Northern United States Too This Area Every Year To Spend The Winter Months. The Eagles Arrive In December And Stay Until March. In Four Days We Spotted And Counted 43 Bald Eagles. Here Is A Shot I Captured Of A Mature Adult Bald Eagle Taking Flight From The River Bank. Take Notice Of How The Eagle Uses It's Powerful Talons To Push Off From The Ground And It's Strong Wings Too Take Flight. What An Amazing Sight To See! "I Would Be A Poorer Man If I Never Saw An  Popup LinkEagle Fly". From The Song Rocky Mountain High By John Denver.

    Really nice shot! The eagles were one of the things I couldn't get over in Alaska. They were as common up there as crows are down here. They are everywhere you look.

    - Oh Bull!

    Yes, Alaska Is The Best Place For Seeing Eagles..Like You Said, Mike...They Are Everywhere. Thanks For The Comments, Kay, Be & Mike! Rockey

    Very nice shot of an eagle in action. I have seen eagles in Alaska and Nova Scotia, but we only have one really action shot of an eagle. (Was just talking about it with my husband and I think the action shot we have is around the same area that you were in - it was near a dam in Pennsylvania.)
