Fins, Slice and an amazing eagle sighting
Another very chilly day on the bay! We started off the entrance to Head Harbour Passage in some serious easterlies but found 2 finbacks, and we got a great look at one of them as he did a series of dives less than 100 feet from the boat. We then made our way up past Casco Bay Island looking for a minke whale (which we didn't find there but we found Slice over around Race Rock later in the trip) but we found bald eagles, on Green Island and on a yellow marker not far from there....AMAZING sighting...here are some photos.

Fantastic eagle pics, Danielle. How about some details re: camera and lens?

Hey Mike, these eagles were on the yellow marker just behind your Island! And it was just perfect lighting and we were SO close...and right now I am using a 6 year old D50 (upgrading this winter I hope) and a 70-300VR lens...The bottom 4 were cropped only about 10%, we were very close and very lucky :)
ReplyDeleteLuck does play a part, no doubt about that. But you've got a great eye, too. Thanks again for the images.
