Love the Eagle shots.
I have to mention an incident whilst we were at Homer.
This place has more Eagles than people it seems.
We awoke one morning and looked out the front windshield and saw 2 Eagles standing on the beach around 50 feet in front of us.
Then, we saw a man sitting on the pebbles with camera in hand.
Every time the eagles turned away, this guy would shuffle across a few feet on his bottom.
The birds would turn, he would shuffle - it went on for around 15 minutes.
We chuckled to ourselves as we watched this 'cat and mouse' activity as he tried to get that "perfect" shot.
After about 20 minutes of determined perseverance he was about to lift his camera and shoot.
Just then, a group of 5 campers burst out of their tents and shouted "WOW - Look at those Eagles!".
At which point the birds flew off.
The guy must have been fuming - but we were rolling around the floor in hysterics.
Following Terry's search for the eagles nest, I can just imagine him as the guy on the beach? ;D
