Bald Eagle Posing @ Blackwater NWR

I am going through old images that I did not have time to work on when I was still working. Here are a couple of Bald Eagle images taken years ago at the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Maryland. All images were taken with a Canon 1D mkIV with a Canon 1D 400mm DO lens with a 1.4x Teleconverter.

Bald Eagle Guards @ Blackwater NWR

One of my favorite subjects to photograph are Bald Eagles. I have found them in a variety of locations, even a nesting pair in a Shop Rite Parking lot. But my Favorite place for photographing Bald Eagles is the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Maryland. Many times you see them just hanging out along the Wildlife Drive and they do not seem to be bothered by your presence as long as you do not get too close, so I use a Canon 400mm with a 2X teleconverter or a 150-600mm lens with or without Teleconverters.

Blackwater NWR Bald Eagle Above Me

I am still cleaning up my Backup Drives and found this Bald Eagle image that was soaring directly above me at the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Maryland. I was using a Canon 400mm DO Lens with a 1.4x Teleconverter on a Canon 1D mkIII.

I am going through my BackUp Drives to clean out images I do not need & to make room for new images. Doing this also shows images that I had not used before but looked interesting. This is an image of a Bald Eagle taken with a Canon 1D mkIII, 400mm DO lens & 1.4X Canon Teleconverter.

Lonely Bald Eagle Amongst The Trees

On a trip to Blackwater NWR we came upon this Bold Eagle far off in the distance in the trees. It seemed like an interesting background and looked interesting with all the trees surrounding the Bald Eagle. The Featured Image was a 2 image blend taken with 2 images to include more of the surrounding tree & leaves.

Bald Eagles – Food Fight With Canon 20D

I am cleaning up images on my computers starting on my Laptop. These were a series of images of a Food Fight with an unwanted Eagle trying to get some of the prey from an other Eagle’s work. Then another Eagle also came in to add more action between the three of them.. Here I was using a Sigma 300-800mm @ 800mm with a Canon 20D camera.

Distant Eagles At Blackwater NWR

We finally got a chance to go back to the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Maryland to see if we could find some Bald Eagles to photograph. It is about a 4 hour trip from where we live. After getting there we were surprised to see 2 Bald Eagles in a tree right after entering the Refuge. One was on one side and the other was on the other side of the same tree. But those will be in a different post. The images here were taken near the end of the 3.6 mile Wildlife Drive across the water near the exit. There usually are Bald Eagle and Osprey nests in the trees because they can fish right below. The only problem is it is pretty far from where we are on the Wildlife Drive.

View of the trees across from the Wildlife Drive. There are usually many nests in the trees here because the Eagles & Ospreys can fish close to their nests. 17 Vertical Images Panorama, Tamron 150-600mm @ 150mm
