Eagle Quest Wildlife Photography Workshop
Looking for a wildlife photography workshop focused on wildlife action-photography? Beginning in mid-October, the eagles begin to congregate in great numbers along the Chilkat River and the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve in Haines, Alaska. During a late salmon run, up to 4000 eagle may concentrate along a fourteen-mile stretch of the Chilkat River as temperatures drop and the country locks itself in ice. For the discerning wildlife photographer, there is no greater opportunity to capture dramatic images of eagles as they engage in their late season feeding.
From mid-October to mid-November, I make available a special photography workshop offering for those who want to immerse themselves in the wildlife of the Eagle Festival in the American Bald Eagle Preserve of Haines, Alaska.
For guests who want to focus on bears, visit Haines from August through mid-October. Visit the Wildlife Photography Workshop page for more details.
