Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). Tule Lake National Wildlife
Refuge, CA. This is in the Klamath Basin, on the California-Oregon border. Eagles overwinter there by the hundreds. Federal status: THREATENED. Following the ban of
the pesticide DDT, which caused eggs to be very fragile, this magnificent symbol of our country has made a good comeback.
Habitat disturbance is still a problem. Canon EOS 1V camera with Fuji Provia 100F film. 600 mm f/4 L IS lens
with 2x teleconverter. 1/180 sec at f/8. Photo was published in the Wild Rivers Coast Phonebook, 2005-2006.
