Eagles (Haines, Alaska)


During early winter, bald eagles gather in Haines, Alaska. Up to 3,000 eagles can be spotted at the Chilkat State Reserve, as they feed on spawning salmon.
The spectacle is incredible with lots of flying and feeding. However, you just need to be well prepared as temperature can deep really low (0 F).
Photographing eagles is very challenging. They are fast flyer and hard to track. The black and brown contrast makes it difficult to meter correctly. And finally, they are in the wild and unpredictable!
