billh Posted March 17, 2007 Share #3 Posted March 17, 2007 Arthur, Great shots! I can’t believe these guys will sit there while you photograph them with a Leica M. Hopefully you will have time to share both information about and photos of this trip. Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthury Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted March 17, 2007 Bill, Yes, Alaska is the only place I know where these eagles are so used to people feeding them, so much so their comfort distance is incredibly small. However, feeding wild eagles is now outlawed and *only* one person is grandfathered into the new law. This lady has been feeding them in the last 25 years and she is 83 years old. If you want more detailed info, you can PM me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
