Bit the bullet and drove to Klamath over the weekend, so worth it. There was one field in Lower Klamath NWR where there were 10,000's of geese and swans taking off and landing and making a cacophony of complaints, and a cluster of at least 10 nearby eagles eating and watching and stealing from each other. It was amazing to witness, felt like an avian Serengeti. - Randy

Sterling stuff, Randy! I've never been up to the Klamath/Tule Lake area in winter, but I hear it can be fabulous, and your photos prove it. I don't believe I've ever seen Pronghorn up there, either, but I guess that's part of their range, i.e., the high desert east of the Cascades/Sierra.
Hi Other Randy. Your post on seeing 30 eagles encouraged me to drive up there at the last minute I shouldve talked to you, wouldve loved to meet you and the other FMers. The antelopes were a big surprise, had no idea they could be seen in Klamath. I spent a long while on a bone-rattling gravel road in Yellowstone trying to see pronghorn and mostly failing, then I run across them randomly in California...go figure They were somewhere along the road towards Harpold Rd, I was driving out there from Lower Klamath NWR to try to find the Dilute Plumage Bald Eagle that had been spotted out there (no luck on the eagle but plenty of luck on the antelope).
Thanks guys. Hi Brian, it was D7000 and a 600 mm f/4 lens. The eagles in the field were really far away, cropped the pics to the max (it shows but still interesting I think). I seem to have given up on trying teleconvertors with the 600mm, not sure the results are ever better than just cropping... Some of the other eagles around the refuge though I got closer to. - Randy

Where did you see him? Like the Roughy, good timing on the shot and the eagle battle.
