Baldies in Red Wing, MN

[Bob Israel]

The eagles were numerous and hungry. Official counts put the number at over 100 eagles. I filled my sd card in no time. Here's one series.

Wow Bob! Red Wing is part of the trifecta of cities that my family comes from along with Hastings and Canon Falls. These are all awesome images, I can image just how fast you might fill a card. It's hard to pick a favorite.

Where in Red Wing was this? How long do the Bald Eagles hang out there?

Neat sequence and nice fishing on the part of the eagle.

Hey Jim, Thanks! I took these images at Colvill Park just south of town. It's my favorite spot for these birds this time of year. The Raptor Center down in Wabasha will post a weekly eagle count at several locations along the Mississippi in the area. It was reported that just over 100 eagles were in this area this past Friday so I had to get down there. The feeding activity was as great as I have ever seen. And yes, I did easily fill a card.

You need to come back to the area so we can share favorite shooting spots together!

Great set, that last is my favorite because it's duck free.

Nice set! My favorite, number two. Such a great capture of intensity as talons prepare for employment. Ben makes an interesting point. I wonder if number two might be enhanced with cloning out the ducks?

 

[Amy Nelson]

Very impressive shots!

 

[Alisa]

It did get the fish. All the fish they were catching were small. In fact, they wouldn't bring the fish to a perch but ate it while flying away and then circling back for mre.
