    Here's one I took yesterday at the Alberta Birds of Prey Foundation. It's of a juvenile Barn Owl who seemed very interested in my camera.

    7D Mark II and an EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM.

    I can't pass up a perfect pose even if it is only a chickadee.

    The only think I know of is the American Bald Eagle Foundation's festival, November 12th thru the 19th.
    https://baldeagles.org/alaska-bald-e...ival-schedule/

    I would go to a festival, but usually I prefer to avoid crowds and not be a tourist with a guide.

    My first thought is rent a car and go before the festival gets underway:

    https://www.travelalaska.com/Destina...0Preserve.aspx

    "The river "flats" of the Chilkat River along the Haines Highway between miles 18 and 24 are the main viewing area for eagle watchers and considered critical habitat in the preserve. Bald eagles are attracted to the area by the availability of spawned-out salmon and open waters in late fall and winter."

    There are several guided float trips that are fairly inexpensive also, I am not sure I would want to take my 500mm on a float trip. With a little research I bet there are other guided tours as well. A good plan might be to take a guide on day one to get the lay of the land and drive yourself others.

    The birds of Circular Quay

    I took the opportunity to set in my bird hide as the wife went in and bought us big mac's.

    The first two shots are of a species that I believe is a one legged french fry stealer, who was perched on the table next my hide.

    The next I believe is a long billed dumpster diver

    Although I was not able to capture the bif action, birds similar to the one legged french fly stealer would swoop from the sky and rip hamburgers from the hands of humans as they walked about unaware.

    Nice capture! Looks like you may have caught a rare one legged french fry stealer with two legs

    Went in search of Puffins again this year. From earlier this summer (I'm really behind in processing...)
