In addition to the owls and ducks, bald eagles were also patrolling the coast of Boundary Bay. Most often, I saw them perched in tall trees against bright, unattractive backgrounds — or on the ground but too far away in the middle of a plowed field. Occasionally, however, I caught them in flight with halfway decent light. I still need to do a proper bald eagle trip to Alaska, but in the meantime, it was nice to get a few more pics in my library of our national emblem.
Last I knew, there was a successful eagle program at the Quabbin Reservoir, less than three short hours from Gloucester if you want to shoot two birds with one . . . .
This is a beautiful photo, Sean.
Stunning shot. I live in the Quabbin area and go there on a weekly basis. It’s known for its American bald eagles. In fact, all throughout western MA, you can spot eagles easily, especially along the CT river.
A few weeks ago, I witnessed 5 juvenile eagles congregated on the frozen salt pannes of Joppa Flats, just before Parker River.
The western MA birders FB page has birders recording all bird sightings in the area, including eagles. At this time a gyrfalcon has been spotted and photographed in the Honeypot Rd, Hadley, MA. It’s been around here for over a month. That’s about as exciting as it gets!
I vote for you to come up to Massachusetts to photograph eagles here! After all, we are one of the original colonies and we have lots of American history here……and you can get a good hot-cooked meal at Mom’s!
Wonderful shot! I absolutely love Bald Eagles. Right now I’m traveling through northern California and southern Oregon which contains the highest population of bald eagles in the winter nesting season. So far I’ve got some great shots and in the next few weeks to get something truly incredible. Let me know what you think and there will be many more to come soon!

Sean, this is a magnificent photo! Wow! LOVE the detail in the feathers and the eye. Just gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your work!
So cool. I’m going to stand up and recite the Pledge of Allegiance now (yes i had to look up the spelling of that).
