p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Topsy Turvey.....Skirmish at Squamish Part1


First off...a HUGE thank you to Henrik for being the perfect host, guide and friend. What an amazing time I had in Vancouver with eagles, gorgeous scenery, tracking wolves and even fore him arranging the NY Rangers to handily beat the hometown Canucks with us in attendance. )
The atmospheric river certainly played havoc with our plans however as the rising river not only covered the banks, washed away salmon carcasses and even took out a road we were going to use to try to find mountain goats. But none the less we had an amazing time shooting in the drizzle the first day and sunshine the second. I know this might have been less than ideal for those Vancouver vets but for me it was outstanding and couldn't have asked for more.
Here is one from what I call Skirmish at Squamish when a few eagles decided to have at it over a salmon carcass. Many more to come as I had time to process some.....luckily that's what a 5 hour flight back to NJ allowed me to do.

Seriously low-altitude BIF action, Eric. I think every day is a Black Friday Sale skirmish for these guys.

Awesome shot, Eric. This reminds me of the scene in the movie "Matrix".

Excellent shot Eric...I do love when they'll flip over to protect themselves like that, always makes for an interesting shot.

Next time, we're going to watch a game of.....curling.

Hey, what a weekend we had!!! Who knew shooting in the conditions like that could be so much fun?! Of course this shot leaves me green with envy. See what happens when you fumble around with an extender Sigh.

I'll be going up there again before long and I'm going to bring my water wings.

Keep 'em coming. I think you might have a few more.

There are strange things done, in the noon "sans" sun,
By the men (and women) who moil for gold.....en light.
You get my drift.
Glad you found the visit enjoyable! Come back in Feb. for some "real" Canadian weather and a case of frostbite!!
Great shot BTW. I hope you tipped Henrik handsomely for his expert guiding!!

This is an amazing photo Eric. I love seeing the interaction between the two juvenile eagles and I can also see the mist in the air.
