Eagles after the storm

What can I say about Hurricane Sandy? I was extremely lucky. The Conowingo eagle population swelled after the storm. Now there are at least 175 more eagles than there were two weeks ago. And every single eagle caught a fish while we were there. Plus, all the other fish eating birds caught a fish. All these pictures were taken after the storm. Guess which bird seemed to be unscathed by the turmoil.

Conowingo Nov 5 2012-1 — This sight greeted us when we first arrived at Conowingo.

Conowingo Nov 5 2012-6 — Young eagles caught fish.

Conowingo Nov 5 2012-2 — Mature eagles caught fish.

Conowingo Nov 5 2012-3 — This one had taken a lesson from Nick Wallenda. Maybe it came from Niagara Falls?

Conowingo Nov 5 2012-5 — Seagull eagle

Conowingo Nov 5 2012-4 — Sushi anyone? Not every bird caught a fish.

Hurricane Sandy — Croton Point Park casualty. More than half the big, old trees were toppled.

Hurricane Sandy Robin — One of the few birds out and about just after the storm.

I primarily photograph eagles and peregrine falcons. I do include many other birds and some mammals. View more posts
