    Fantastic spot for Bald Eagles in N. Maryland, Conowingo Dam

    Thought I'd share this for anyone on the east coast, USA who has been struggling to find a good spot for Bald Eagle watching & photos. Thanks so much to Charley425 on DPreview for the tip... it looks like he registered just to answer my question about good eagle spots. How cool is that? It...

    Where in Northern VA can I reliably watch bald eagles fishing?

    Where in Northern VA can I reliably watch bald eagles fishing?

    I guess it doesn't HAVE to be fishing actually... I'm just trying to get some 'trophy shots' of eagles with my camera. Seems like they're at their most dramatic while scooping up fish. It seems like most parks forbid getting too close to them, so the shots I've gotten so far are kinda distant...
