Joy and I popped up to Brackendale over the weekend to witness the "winter home of the bald eagle" for ourselves. It's late in the season to have many eagle spottings, and indeed there were few to be seen, especially up close, but we loved the awesome scenery. Check it out. Isn't it fantastic?
I shot these with a Canon 100-400 f4.5-5.6 IS with a 1.4 extender, but I was frustrated with the lens all day long. I could have made some excellent photographs of eagles had I had another 100mm at my disposal; as it was, we were just too far away from them with the Squamish River between us.
If anyone gets a chance to go north and shoot in about two weeks when the buds are fully out, the colours will be amazing. Many of the trees are dripping with moss and backlit, it looks astonishing. I'll be back no matter what, trying again for the one great shot.
