A bald eagle perches on a driftwood limb on the shore of Kachemak Bay, Alaska.

There was a nice article in our paper today about a man here in Marin County who collects all things relating to the bald eagle.  His name is Preston Cook.  In addition to collecting, Preston has given much time to helping the bald eagle.  Among his efforts were many years spent on the board of the American Bald Eagle Foundation.  You can see the story here.

Screaming Eagle!

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.  For more images of bald eagles and info on these birds you can visit my portfolio site by clicking on “Portfolio” above and selecting “Birds of Prey.”
