Bald Eagle Viewing

 
 

Last week I was treated to a visit from my friend Devan, who had made his way across Alberta and British Columbia to catch up with friends. Devan has recently started exploring wildlife photography with his new mirrorless camera system and had taken amazing shots of bison, caribou, and deer out in rural Alberta. The Pacific Northwest is in the midst of a dreary winter, so I was unsure whether there would be a good opportunity to take pictures.

Luckily Devan had been recommended a trip to Brackendale Eagles Provincial Park to view the overwintering bald eagles. I still can’t believe I’ve never heard anyone talk about this park! Access to the park itself in closed in the winter, but wildlife can be viewed from across the stream in Brackendale’s Eagle Run Park, just outside of Squamish. I’ve never seen so many eagles in one place before. Peak wintering-season starts in mid-December, but we still managed to see at least 40-50 eagles along the shore and treeline. We were also treated to a spectacular view of the mountains and several curious harbor seals floating along in the stream. I’ll definitely be spending more time in this area.

Photographing eagles at this distance pushed my bridge camera to its limits, but I’m glad to share what I can from this amazing day trip.

  1. Hey there would you mind stating which blog platform
    you’re working with? I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having
    a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your layout seems
    different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to
    ask!

  2. Having read this I thought it was rather enlightening. I appreciate you finding the time and effort to put this informative article together. I once again find myself personally spending a lot of time both reading and commenting. But so what, it was still worth it!

  3. The very next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesn’t disappoint me just as much as this one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read through, however I actually thought you would probably have something helpful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of complaining about something that you could possibly fix if you weren’t too busy looking for attention.

  4. I blog often and I genuinely appreciate your content. The article has truly peaked my interest. I am going to book mark your blog and keep checking for new information about once per week. I subscribed to your RSS feed too.

  5. We absolutely love your blog and find the majority of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for. Does one offer guest writers to write content in your case? I wouldn’t mind writing a post or elaborating on some of the subjects you write concerning here. Again, awesome website!
