Eagles make themselves known at Clark Lake.  But anyone who attempts to photograph wildlife understands the challenge of capturing them in action.  They don’t usually pose.  When photographing, what counts? Being at the right place at the right time, camera in hand, skill in using in it, and some good fortune.   Here are some recent captures.

Thanks to Jack Burns for the photo above and video of the duck-attack on January 2nd.  Jack says the duck escaped the clutches of the two eagles.

Rick Belcher took this photo of an eagle having lunch on the ice on January 29th.

No too much later, the eagle made its way along the Eagle Point shoreline.

The eagle was directly over head.

On December 23rd, Rainer Meston spotted an eagle in a big oak tree on the east side of the house.  His grandfather, Carl Noechel, grabbed this photo before it flew away.  Upon taking flight, it turned out there were actually two eagles, but that second one had been obscured from sight until the departure.

On August 31st, there were two separate sightings.  Andrew Lajdziak and Carolyn Nichols caught eagles in action in the Cove. Click here to review the story. 

On October 19th, Diane Deming documented the Battle of the Birds at Clark Lake.  She captured some best-ever photos.  Click here for the full story.

The seagull didn’t win.
