I just returned from a trip to Haines, Ak to photograph Bald Eagles and do some scouting for workshops I plan to do there in 2013. The Eagles feed on Salmon that have spawned and are continuing upstream to die. Here are some images of the Bald eagles fighting over fish. Thanks for looking. I hope you like them.

Great shots, Jim, looks like fun. Tell the eagles there's lots of salmon to feed everyone, they don't have to fight!

If anyone wants to see similar, without going so far north, there was a story on the National news a couple of days ago about the 10,000 eagles that congregate in the Fraser River Valley in southern BC for the same reason- salmon. http://fraservalleybaldeaglefestival.ca/ The 10,000 part sounds high to me, but I've never been to it.

Top notch action shots there, Jim! That icy landing looking one is hysterical
