Countdown 365 ~ T-51

Total Miles: 55.2 Miles ~ Wildlife: 4 Moose ~ American Bald Eagles
It has been a few days since my last Photo Trek, primarily due to the weather conditions of wind and rain. With partly cloudy sky and having errands to run in Homer, I took a couple of extra hours to play with the Eagles. While doing so, I came up with a new concept that may produce some interesting shots. When the Eagles return to the Anchor River Valley for the salmon runs, the conditions may exist to apply the concept. It was a beautiful day on the Homer Spit. The conditions were just right to get a variation in the color of the waters of Kachemak Bay. Although, we still have forty to fifty days that winter could occur, the signs of spring is slowly starting to evolve.

The next series of shots was at a small pond created by melting snow. When I arrived, it was being used by two Eagles and a dozen Black Birds. All of them were bathing and playing in the water. Perhaps, grooming themselves for the start of the mating season that is just a few weeks away.

Good shots Stan, I like the one of the eagle flashing his behind. Also how neat to see our nation's bird bathing with the black birds!
