Nature of Eagles

This gallery features eagle portraits, and behavior in the winters of 2005-2013 in their wild and natural worlds along the Squamish, Manquam, and Cheakamus Rivers in British Columbia, Canada. During winters Bald Eagles gather on salmon rivers to feed on an abundance of spawned out salmon. Salmon spawn and die naturally at the end of their life cycle along rivers and streams thereby providing a vital winter food source for eagles, gulls, bears, ravens, bobcats, and other creatures. From the Canon 20D through the 1DsMkIII,and 1DMk1V, the 500 f/4 IS lens, and Canon 800mm f/5.6, often with a Canon 1.4 tele-converter, and sometimes with a 2x tele-converter. Also included here are eagle experiences from Haida Gwaii, and the Harrison area in British Columbia Canada.

You know what I like about your captures: they make me forget about the act of photographing and take me close to the nature of the subjects.
You have the patience to wait for certain behaviour and ofcourse you equipment does help ;-)
Thanks for doing the work. BV

The attention to detail in this Eagle Gallery is simply outstanding, and the quality is what we all strive for.
I had privilege to meet up with Norman again at the Wharf in Salmon Arm BC trying to capture Ospreys in flight, we had a happy time sharing ideas and comparing lenses and cameras. Norman is a person who is very generous with his time and knowledge, he has given me many ideas in editing and camera settings. Thank you Norman.

Wonderful gallery. Candid. Crisp. Great variety. I didn't get bored looking at dozens of eagles, because each shot was different and unusual. Love how you caught these birds in unusual settings and unusual postures. Happy to vote.

Marcel-Etienne09-Aug-2006 22:53
This gallery is absolutely exceptional, and all the photos fully deserve to be exhibited in Brackendale.
Each photo is outstanding in its own right, and so is the series, taken as a whole. Set in the mist between ageless, moss covered tree trunks, ice cold rivers and fierce mountain peaks, these bald eagles are paid a unique, fitting tribute... Stunning! :o) :o) :o)

I've really enjoyed this gallery as I have all your other galleries, Norman. And I feel fortunate to have had the chance to see the actual prints of some these images. The color, the sharpness, the detail in the highlights and shadows and tonality of the images are just outstanding. The impact when one sees the actual prints are just amazing beyond words. I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.
