There is an area on the river where the ducks like to congregate. A boardwalk allows people to walk out into the river and watch the ducks. Friday afternoon there must have been 100 or more ducks in that area. As I was watching them, they suddenly started quacking and getting very agitated. I looked up and there was an eagle flying low over them. The eagle circled around and did another fly-by and I was able to get a few shots of it. I was excited . . . but probably not as excited as the ducks were. And for different reasons.

what great pictures… I envy you as there are no such eagles here as far as I know….
Thanks, Joanna. I’ve seen more eagles this year than I have since I moved here 15 years ago. I love watching them. They’re so majestic.
they are just magnificent!
Great shots. Did you duck as it flew overhead?
Thanks so much. I think I did duck. 🙂 At first I wasn’t sure what was causing all the commotion and when I saw it, it was flying right over me.
awesome fly-by!
Thank you very much, Donna.
I really think these are some of the best captures I’ve seen of these magnificent raptors. Great job, Maralee!
Thank you so much, Reggie. I think I’ve seen more eagles in the area this year than I have in all the years I’ve lived here combined. Its very exciting for me.
