Color photo. A Bald Eagle stands on top of a wooden post. It is facing to our right, and is looking back and up over its left wing at a white gull diving towards it. In the hazy background is a snowy mountain peak.

Stopped by Marina Beach Park in Edmonds the other day, and witnessed a couple of neighbors having a pole-ite argument.

I’d originally headed there in hopes of getting some photos of the Orcas that had been seen nearby, but by the time I arrived they’d moved on.  The eagle on the post was a worthy substitute, and the other birds coming over to complain in person about his presence made for some fun photo opportunities.  Given the combination of things (Bald Eagle, Puget Sound, ferry, swimmer, Olympic Mountains) it was a Very Washington day for shooting.  Which was pretty great.

Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3

Color photo. A Bald Eagle sits on top of a wooden post. Behind it, at the bottom of the frame, are the waters of Puget Sound, upon which a ferry sails. The far shore is covered in dark trees, out of focus, and the foothills and snowy peaks of the Olympic Mountains rise above all.
Color photo. A wooden pole rises tall above the waters of Puget Sound, a Bald Eagle perched upon it. In the water below, a person in a green cap swims across the frame. In the distance on the left, a ferry plies the water. Behind is the distant dark tree lined shore, with the foothills and snowy mountain peaks of the Olympic Mountains rising above.
