Eagles and a brat bunny

Mark Edell

I went up to the skagit river in Washington state to shoot eagles. The trip was fun, the photography was so so. I only got three keeper (I expected a lot more) but it was my first time up there.

I like all three eagles, and the rabbit like others have said is hilarious.

Did you not see that many eagles, or just not that many close enough to photograph? I'm wondering how the recent flood on the Skagit affected their numbers (obviously affected the number of photographers since highway 20 was closed for a few days!).

I might try and make it up one more time this year (was going to this weekend but went to Forks for some beach shooting instead).

Thanks, I didn't notice the rabbit sticking out it's tongue until I loaded it up on my laptop. I got a chuckle out of it.

Ron, There were quite a few up there. If I were to guess, I would say I identified 25 to 30i ndividual eagles in a 10 mile stretch. It was my first time up there so I spent a lot of my time looking for the best spots, not many that allows the morning sun at your back that I could find. I also had my wife with me so I had to divide my time.

Nice shots, Mark. Of the eagles, I think I like the BIF the best.

The rabbit shot is just priceless!!!

I like them all Mark. Eagles in their environment certainly make good photos. That big is really nice and the bunny.....
