My 3 day trip down to the Conowingo Dam in Maryland, to film and photograph large groups of bald eagles.
00:00 Intro
00:20 Day 1
05:25 Day 2
09:08 Day 3
At 10:58 in your video you will see an Adult Bald Eagle sitting on a concrete wall. She and her mate have used that wall as their perch ever since 2013 when I first noticed them claiming the spot. if they are not out hunting or playing they will be on that perch. They are "retired" as in post breeding age birds. They are there year round and never haul a fish off somewhere to a nest out of site.
Beautiful eagle,beautiful camera😊😊😊
This video is awesome! Thank you for sharing it!!! Best wishes!
Thank you!
Thanks!
Fantastic photos ~ Getting these in a few days vs footage for a lifetime for the rest of us. Props. Eagle fan forever. 🦅🌎❤️✨
Nice work!
Thank you for a great video!!!
Thanks!
Nicely done. It makes me want to go back since the last time I was there was 2012. Looks like there are more people each year.
Yeah it definitely has gotten more popular.
The male Peregrine Falcon seen at 13:10 in your video has been at the dam since at least 2012. There are two Peregrine Falcon nests at the dam. The first one I discovered in 2009.Enjoy the antics of this bird who LOVES to terrorize any and all other birds at the dam. He is protecting his territory around the nest site which is basically anywhere between the towers on the north end of Rolland Island (the one man made out of rocks) and the powerhouse.
Dude .............. This is the greatest eagle video I've ever seen.
I appreciate that!
nicely done , Thank You !
Thanks!
Awesome mate!!
Thanks man!
Thank you Mike for yet another OUTSTANDING video!! Thanks to you I'm now aware of two fantastic places to try and do Eagle Photography (Conowingo and the upper Hudson River); can't wait to try these places in the future!
Thank you!
Thank you for creating & sharing this experience! Great video!!!
Thanks!
This was an awesome video! Thank you for sharing your beautiful photography and video.
Thank you!
So dramatically GOOD Mike, as always the standard to follow
Thanks!
Hi! Is it feeding frenzy all year around here? Fantastic video :)
Wow! That's a really neat video. It really gives you an idea of what Conowingo Dam is about, plus all the great eagle shots. I always wanted to go, but this year I have little time, and it is a great year home (Albany, NY).
Thanks Jonas, you will have to make the trip one day!
Wow Mike, this is AMAZING!! This has to be one of my favorites of yours... so well done!!! Really hoping to get to Conowingo this year. Onondaga is going to be slow if the temperatures don't drop.
Thanks Sarah, it's def worth the trip. Spring time seems to be better than the fall lately. I know this warm weather isn't good for eagle activity, hopefully we get a cold snap soon.
Great video buddy!! Happy New Year. It's on my bucket list to head there one day. Here in Warren, Pa. @ The Kinzua Dam the eagle population is growing & fun to photograph. Nothing like there but it's amazing to capture an eagle in flight or pickin off a fish in the water.. Great video...
Thanks Bill!
I really enjoy your work. We were probably both there on one or two days this year. Your video production is top shelf! Wish I could talk gear and methods with you! Also fun to see my buddy Eric at the 6:35 mark - he is as much a fixture at the dam as the speed signs. ;-)
Thank you! I'm also wanting to talk gear. Eric is a cool guy!
Mike, do you used some teleconverter? How you zoom so close?
Love filming there! Try going at least once a month. I’ll be headed up from Maryland to NY to photograph owls soon. Would love to collaborate on filming some wildlife 🤙🏼
It's a great place, where in New York?
