Conowingo Bald Eagles

Conowingo, originally uploaded by Michael J. Mahoney.

A slightly distant but interesting photo. The eagles get very active when the damn turns on the turbines. When we arrived it was very foggy, no good for photos. I was a bit worried because my intel was saying the turbines were typically being run from 6 to 9am.

Fortunately this time the turbines didn't start until around 8:30am giving plenty of time for the fog to clear.

The pattern seemed to be one eagle would catch a fish, other eagles would try to steal it, 50 photographers with better gear than me documents it.

Fun trip.
