UPS Jet coming in for a landing at theTed Stevens International Airport in Anchorage.

I spotted this eagle as he/she landed on the utility pole at Spenard Lake. I wasn't too happy to see the other birds picking on this poor eagle, but it did make for interesting pictures... In the first small photo, you can see the raven that kept dive-bombing the eagle; in the second, if you look closely behind the eagle, you can spot the little magpie tht was going for his/her tail feathers. Right after I snapped that photo, the majestic eagle flew off for calmer digs - I managed to get a quick, though blurry, shot as it flew through the trees.

beautiful place thanks for sharing it through your photos!
Okay Kim, you know I love the birds!!! The eagle pic is awesome. I clicked on it to enlarge it and it is so sharp. Very nice! Would love to see it cropped just below his tail feathers to get all of those utility wires out of the shot.
All of the rest are wonderful too, but that "fiery sunset" pic is absolutely gorgeous!
Kim, I so enjoy your photography and I felt like I was right there. The jet coming in for a landing is an awesome catch. Fabulous photos!
Kim....you make me want to visit Alaska every time I see your shots. I particularly love the Alpenglow on Chugach Range. I don't know what an Alpenglow is but it's sure pretty.
Holy cow...some awesome shots!!! I love the church shot the totem poles and the whale statue and of course the Eagle shot (always love them!) The shot of the bench by the water is SUPER too!!!
Oh my gosh I need to visit Alaska now!! We even have a savings account set up for a cruise there..I can't wait all your photos are so beautiful! I really love your eagle storyboard pictures and the skyline..great job!
