Description:
The activities of our resident Bald Eagles follow the rhythm of nature from the fall return of the salmon to the early spring herring spawn followed by the late spring midshipman spawn and finally the summer migration of eagles to northern feeding grounds. Concurrently, the nesting season starts with nest building and renovations in October, courtship in February, egg laying in March, and fledging in June and July. You are invited to enjoy a glimpse of these activities and learn about eagles through wonderful photography of Mike Yip, one of our top nature photographers. Instructor: Mike Yip retired from teaching in 2001. In 2003 the chance encounter with some strange ducks inspired him to take up birding and bird photography. Since then he has self-published 7 books and delivered numerous PowerPoint presentations on birds from one end of the island to the other.
