I am linking up my post with Skywatch Friday
This post starts with the sunrise from my deck, there were a little bit of clouds around that turned pink and the moon was setting. I am always up early and on this day 11/19 hubby and I planned a daytrip to the Susquehanna River to see the eagles. Migrating eagles usually stop at the river below the dam for a break. On this day we saw about 39 eagles, I am sure there were more eagles hidden by the trees and rocks on the river.

I heard from my friend that the following weekend there were over 100 eagles seen at the same spot below the Conowingo Dam. Usually, the perfect time to see a lot of the eagles at this river is when it is really cold and the river is low.
A couple of eagles with a few Black Vultures.
A view of the Susquehanna River and the pretty sky.
Three eagles on the tower at the river
Back at home the view of the sunset from my mailbox and street.
I hope you can take some time to check out some more beautiful skies from around the world.

So many Eagles in the water, I can hardly believe it. Beautiful skies as well.
So glorious, a wonderful series ...
greetings Karin
Love your eagle with his breakfast and the last shot of the sunset has a wonderful mix of pink and blue. Great shots Eileen.
I don't think I've ever come across a SWF post from dawn to dusk. Absolutely love it! Great captures of the eagles and its prey. also the river scene. As for the concluding shot, it's stunning!!
WOW!!!

so neat to see! love that you got one with his fish catch!
Ooh I would love to see so many eagles! Love the shot with the vultures too. Gorgeous sunrise!
What a beautiful set of photos Eileen and I love the one you have chosen as your header photo.
I have never even imagined seeing that many Eagles at once -- this is wonderful Eileen.
The picture of the three on the tower is amazing -- you couldn't have asked them to pose any better.
Wonderful images to see..
I have yet to see an eagle (though we apparently have some in this area).
Love the shot of him with his fish!
Fabulous captures Eileen - thanks so much for sharing your images of these beautiful birds and glorious skies. (Judging by the vapour trails, there sure must be a lot of air traffic in your region!) Happy weekend.
how wonderful to have that much eagles. It is so great to see them. :)
Gorgeous photos Eileen! Are there only Bald Eagles or do you get the Golden Eagles too?
Have a great, dry weekend -LOL!
Stay warm!

Thank you for sharing your eagle-pictures, Eileen! Where I live (Amsterdam) we only get to see eagles in the zoo...Sometimes life isn't fair...:-( Have a good weekend!

What great pictures of the eagles! I especially like the picture of the eagle in the tree, holding the fish!
Love the color of the sky! And the shots of the eagles are fantastic!
Awesome Eileen!
Your skies are lovely but I'm really taken with the eagles. I like the one in the tree with his catch but I also like the one of the tower.
What a wonderful experience.
Hi Eileen, Your pictures are breathtakingly beautiful! Wow! I hope to see some Bald Eagles here at my new home - if not, I will hopefully see a few elsewhere or just virtually here. Have an excellent weekend! Again, bravo!
