A gathering of eagles, Cannery Cove, Pybus Bay, Alaska, 2013

This is the first image in a three-picture sequence featuring bald eagles feeding on fish carcasses at the Pybus Point Lodge fly-in fishing camp. More than a dozen eagles, both mature and immature, gathered on these rocks at sunset as the tide receded, waiting for it to reveal what remained of the halibut discarded by the camp’s fishermen. Here three mature bald eagles wait patiently, paying no attention to an immature eagle about to land in their midst.

You must have heard me exclaim "ooo, ooo, ooo!" as I "chomped" this image, Tim. In looking at it again, I realized how important those flying wing feathers are here -- they echo the trusts of the trees in the background perfectly.

I can almost hear you when you saw this in your camera's viewing screen. This is an amazing view.
