It is my experience that one can never have enough Eagles. Especially if you are American.

LOL.... Its not what I did its what the bird did, on some passes or strikes or whatever you want to call it ,when they are fishing they come in close.
My theory being less people at the Lock the closer they get ,thats why i enjoy on weekdays when they're are obviously less people. Here is a image of the platform where people stand . ( not my image). I usually stand further down off the pic on the right. And I also handhold my gear compared to quite a few who use tripods .

Nice shots,Can't wait until the river thaws up this way in about a month or so.

Was there a good population of them?

Right now there is about 25-50 birds in and around the area they come and go I counted 23 in the tree directly across from the Lock (bout 250 feet or so away) last Friday....... Eagles a plenty at L/D #14.
