So this is my 3rd trip to Conowingo dam on the weekend before thanks giving. Its a 8 hr drive for me, I wish it were closer as I'd be there all the time.

For those that have been there know its quite special for Eagle photography during the winter months, When your local eagles get done going through the breeding season many of Them congregate here from long distances because of the amount of food here with the fish coming over and through the dam all dazed and confused. 

What's unique here is nearly all the fish caught by a eagle is contested by other eagles, I just don't get that here with my local Eagle photography.  we have many nests around here but I've never seen a fight in the air for fish like I see here. So its unique to me and a special destination to get my Merica Eagle photography fix.

Since the trip I've already posted many pictures on my Flickr account and a couple weeks ago I made a youtube video of some pics, as well as a couple landscape shots and some early morning timelapes with my action camera. both Flickr and Youtube have different pics from what you'll see below. so If you don't follow me on Facebook and have'nt seen them yet  click on the two links below if you just can't get enough Bald Eagle pics from me :)

And the Flickr link to some High res photo's

And the new photo's not seen on flickr and the Youtube video.

A final word , On my 4th and final day of photographing all this As I was packing up at my Subi in the parking lot getting ready to head home, I had put away the 600 III and no camera in hand and 3 Eagles came down road 20 feet over my head chasing each other over a fish two juveniles chasing a adult,  after flying over me They weaved through the tree's leading into the water fighting for the fish the fish dropped in the water,  I'll never forget seeing that with my own two eyes, you see most of the time my eye is to my camera and I really don't get a sense for the hugeness of a 6 foot wingspan bald eagle, let alone 3 of them flying in formation right over me.    That sight I'll never forget.  It was sunny at the time and the action just was'nt quiting and I had to leave. Well until next year same time same place.  Its on!

Hope you enjoyed

Cheers
