Immature Bald Eagle, Homer, Alaska

This is a portrait of an immature bald eagle.

I was looking through some bald eagle photos from about 15 years ago when my Photoshop skills were a bit more limited. I decided to try to improve this one a bit.

This is a photo of a bald eagle on a branch at Homer, Alaska.

Bald eagle on a driftwood tree limb. I don’t recall if it was landing or taking off – or lifting its rear to relieve itself. It was 2009 and I was at the famous Jean Keene’s (“The Eagle Lady”) place on the Homer Spit.

I photographed this bald eagle in 2008 at Homer, Alaska. My how time flies when you’re retired.

A trip down memory lane. I took this photo in 2009 behind the house of “The Eagle Lady,” Jean Keene. Jean moved to Homer in 1977. She lived out at the end of Homer Spit which extends a long way into Kachemak Bay. It didn’t take long before she noticed a couple of bald eagles on the beach behind her house. She worked at a nearby fish processing plant and brought some fish home and threw the fish to the eagles. By the time of her death in 2009 the number of eagles at Jean’s house grew from two to 200. Feeding was done just in the winter when times were more difficult for the birds. Hundreds of bird photographers would come to Homer each winter to photograph those bald eagles.

Here’s a photo from 2007 that I just reworked a bit. I have to again thank my old friend Bob Gay for telling me to go to Homer, Alaska, that March. It was so good that I went back the next two years.

Here’s an image I just reworked a little. I took it in 2007, a little after getting back into photography after a 30 year hiatus. I had just retired and my friend, Bob Gay, told me I needed to get on a plane right away and meet him in Homer, Alaska. One of the best pieces of photography advice I’ve ever gotten. Thanks again, Bob.
