We Went for the Eagles | Part 2, Northern California Nature Photographer
I was inspired to seek out and photograph bald eagles during the winter months when they were known to be seen in the very northern part of California. Given that their numbers were in jeopardy a few years ago, it is so rewarding to know that efforts to assist improving their numbers has been successful. A bit of research and phone calls to the area indicated that we would not be disappointed; that, indeed, the eagles now regularly migrated to the area during the coldest of months.

Although our expectations were not quite met as far as the abundance of eagles, there was plenty to photograph. A wonderful (!) snowstorm occurred on the only full day we were there. Wet and windy, that did not stop us. We took full advantage of our location and carefully drove to various areas searching for eagles, finding other wildlife and beautiful landscapes.

Love the graceful lines of this old tree hovering over the river.
It was snowing so heavily, it made it difficult to focus!
Enjoy a great day, and get out there and do a little ‘naturing’ today!

One early, foggy morning before anyone else was up, I decided to go down to the beach to enjoy the environment and take a couple of landscape photos just to document being there. Coffee, beach chair, and camera in hand, I headed over the dune toward the waters’ edge. That's when I knew I'd be photographing shorebirds!
