This immature bald eagle has monofilament fishing line caught in both of its feet. The artificial bait (shrimp) is still attached to the line. This is a recipe for disaster. At some point the line is going to get snagged on a limb or other object and, unless the bird figures out how to remove it, the bird is going to die. Unfortunately, fishing lines kill a lot of birds and other wildlife.
About this time each year I think of the trips I used to make in March to photograph bald eagles around Homer, Alaska. It was always a fantastic experience. This photo was taken in Sadie Cove which is on the far side of Kachemak Bay from Homer.
I took this photo in March of 2009 when I was driving back to Anchorage from Homer where I had been photographing bald eagles. Mount Redoubt erupted several times that month.
My trips to Alaska have always been for the purpose of photographing wildlife. Of course, Alaska is also well known for its beautiful landscapes. I’m feeling the need to go again — to photograph some of its great landscapes. If you’d like a print of this image you can order one by clicking here.
In March I often think of bald eagles and Alaska. I went to Homer, Alaska, several times during the month of March to photograph bald eagles. The photo opportunities in Homer, and in the inlets and bays on the other side of Kachemak Bay, were unbelievable.
