Description

I headed down to the Bow river here in Calgary in hopes of photographing the many bald eagles that cruise the open water for ducks this time of year. The ducks are are plentiful in the small patches of open water, 100’s, if not 1000’s can be seen in these patches of open river. Within 5 minutes 3 immature bald eagles flew in low over the ducks, a few photos later and another wave of immature bald eagles showed up and moved down the river.
