In this video I take you along for a winter day photographing bald eagles in northern Washington state. In truth, I DID get some decent photos of eagles on this trip. However my general experience was disappointing, and at the end of this video I share some ideas about how I could have done better and what I learned.

I did rent the well known Canon EF 100-400mm II lens to use on my crop sensor Canon DSLR, which gave me a little more reach when photographing from a distance.
