 American Bald Eagles

One of my newest passions is wildlife photography, and there is no subject I like photographing more than the magnificent American Bald Eagle!

I am fortunate to live less than an hour away from the Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna River in Maryland.  Conowingo is the east coast mecca for observing Bald Eagles.  The hydroelectric generation plant keeps the water below the dam from freezing even in the coldest weather.  From October through December there are typically hundreds of birds in the area.  And the river is a plentiful source of fresh fish!

 Senior Life Institute - Back Yard Birds

Highland Presbyterian Church's Senior Life Institute invited me to present a program on my bird photography.  Due to the pandemic, we could not meet in person.  So Josh Witmer was kind enough to record my presentation and post it to Highland's YouTube channel.

I shared photographs captured at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area, Wissahickon Creek, Chestnut Grove Nature Area, the Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna River, and Brubaker Run, among others.  All of these locations are less than an hour's drive from my home, so I consider all of these magnificent creatures my "back yard birds"!
