An immature White-tailed Eagle at Yakumo this morning………
Doesn’t look like it’s going to be a long eagle season this winter. There were only a few upstream, they’ve eaten all the salmon. I thought it had been a pretty good salmon run last autumn but apparently not.
At least there were quite a few gathered around the river mouth. This is often a good spot to watch them feed but as with the spots up the valley, food is very scarce. I could fire off plenty of BIF shots as they flew low over the main bridge in town.
Background is very important in BIF shots as you can see:
Happy New Year Stewart! 😀
Always enjoy the stories and photos.
In December, I did find Steller and White-tailed Sea Eagles 3 Kms up Yoichi River 😀
Do Kittiwakes make it up around Otaru as far as you know?
Best to You and Yours and God Bless,
Jeff 🙂
Hi Jeff. Kittiwakes are more the Pacific side AFAIK. Happy New Year to you too!
