Great pictures, Jim Garvey!
Thanks, Clare! Got lucky.
Magnificent creatures, immortalized against Heaven’s backdrop.
Those are some great photos with the eagles in the foreground and the cruise ships at anchor in the background.
It really captures the essence of life on the shore.
Great job!
Thanks, Paul!
I believe they are container ships, disgusting bilge into our bay, and possible other contaminations. I agree with your sentiment r/t the eagles.
