Above is a link for
more information on Eastman Lake from a previous article
My question for the day at the Eastman
Lake Ranger Station was, “Why are there so many turkeys around here lately?”
Answer, “It’s turkey hunting season and they know where it is safe to hang out.”
I also had a chance to photograph members
of a group of 3 mature Bald Eagles over the camping area nearest the boat ramp.
Although they floated about above me on a windy day, I had a lot of blurry
photographs because my shutter speed was too slow. Still making rookie mistakes!
There was no sight of a Golden
Eagle which was the main reason I was there but the turkeys were my consolation
prize. There is an active Golden nest in the Madera County foothills and I hope
to get some photos from there in a month or so. The Goldens at Millerton Lake
did not return to the nest. It is a bit of a puzzle since I only saw one eagle
the last month before the time to lay eggs.
