Nature at Work
#nature #bird
I took this photo in Homer, Alaska. It was an early start to the day that required sitting still in place for a few hours. I walked away with lots of photo's but this was the close-encounter. When this eagle flew in to perch, its wing was within a few inches of my head...to the point I could feel the air-wash from its wings upon landing. It was a spectacular sight with more than 200 eagles that ranged from young eagles with brown heads (change white at 2yrs old) to older ones that ruled the vantage points.

When I first heard about how many eagles were in the area, I decided to go check it out for myself...I was not let down.

When I realized how many birds are in the background of the image itself, and then hearing about the number in your description, my head almost exploded. Incredible!
