This year we have been treated with some of the best fall colors, in a place that really doesn’t have many trees that turn.
Here it was a double treat.
A Bald Eagle dropped out of some pines and flew right through the beautiful colors.


The Eagles are starting to nest which is why we have been seeing them so easily. They will return to last years location but they do need to make repairs.

Santee Delta, South Carolina.
Wow! I especially love the way the light shines through the eagle’s tail. Great shots, Ted.
Several Eagles gave us this type of photo op. They waited until we drifted by, then dropped down flying up river. As we caught up, repeat. ππ, thanks.
Nice!
My first trip up the creeks and delta rivers. The only animals to photograph turned out to be Eagles. Everything else is in the reeds. The Eagles, they fly along side the river banks. It didnβt hurt that itβs nesting time ππ.
Amazing!! π
Bald Eagles make the best photo subjects LOL
Wonderful photography, Ted! Full kudos!
Thank you ππ. From a morning filled with Eagles π. This one hop scotched (is that a word?) along the tree line in front of us as we moved down a creek. Iβm pretty sure I have more of him, or his mate, from the encounter. That never happens ππ
Yes, that is a word π What great encounters you have there! It is always a delight to see what you and Ellen see and experience over there.
I can photograph more wildlife and nature in an hour here than I could in…who knows up New England. The ACE Basin is describe as ‘one of the last great places in America’ by just about every naturalist org… you can see why.
