Brackendale BC - Jan 25 2003

Hello,

Today I went to an amazing place. I drove 1 hour north of Vancouver BC to the little town of Brackendale BC. It is home to the probably largest Bald Eagle population in the world!!

Check here if you are in the area.

Well hopefully I can make there again in sunny weather. Just an amazing place. It is free, just have to supply your own tank of gas.

Here is probably one of the better pictures I took. I know it is poor quality but it was raining hard and freezing! I also had trouble configuring my coolpix 995 settings and didnt have enough batteries. Also for those digi cam users, DONT USE DIGITAL ZOOM.

Shot using Coolpix 995
Nikon Telesco-Micro 6X18
using 4X optical + 6 X lens + ? optical zoom

I think I need another add on lens.

A group shot: No digital zoom...much better.

How many can you count.

BTW. I think there must have been about 40 eagles counted by early afternoon.

I thnk I have to work on my shooting technique.

HOpe you enjoy. :t:
