Bald Eagle Posing @ Blackwater NWR

Posted on August 4, 2024

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

Posted on July 25, 2024

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.

Lonely Bald Eagle Amongst The Trees

Posted on February 9, 2024

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 Eagle Images From Blackwater NWR

Posted on April 23, 2022

One of my Favorite NWRs to photograph in is the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Maryland. Great variety of subjects from the Wildlife and Great Sunrises & Sunsets. You never know what you will see to photograph. Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge hosts the largest concentration of breeding Bald Eagles on the East Coast, north of Florida. Bald Eagles in the wild can live up to 30 years, but usually average 15 years. Following are a series of Bald Eagle images from various trips to photograph there.
