FLYday - Bald Eagle and Herring Gull Fight


Adult Bald eagle being harassed by Herring Gull, Phippsburg, Maine, May 2012

FLYday is an homage to what our feathered friends do best, fly. 

I took this shot on the end of our pier, 120 feet out into the ocean. I was wearing my bathrobe. 
On my photography web site, you will find almost 8,000 images of Maine taken by me.

  2. Birding in my bathrobe is one of my favorite ways to bird, though I don't do it very often here. Great shot! I was just in Maine last weekend and just posted photos today. I am glad you are an eBirder in Maine since many areas there do not have many eBirders! Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting!

  8. jmac1949, M.C.S, and I Love Life, thanks so much to you all for the views, rates and compliments. I am very lucky to live in an incredible place that gives me these opportunities nearly every day. I also was photographing seals mating and fishing at the same time that this food fight between the gull and eagle was going on.

  9. Seagulls are tough guys! Urban seagulls, even tougher. Good luck if you're trying to eat your lunch on a bench near the water in Boston.

  12. I love the grandeur they possess. Taking pictures in a robe, this I can relate to. Nothing like the comfort. Rated with a Jali smile of course. :-) If you have a chance, please check out my last post and see what you think. Thanks doll.

  13. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
