Conowingo Dam Bald Eagles 2021

- These are some of my favorite shots from my 2 day trip to the Conowingo Dam in Maryland during December. For anyone that isn’t familiar with the dam, let me tell you why this place is so special. On the Susquehanna River just north of Chesapeake Bay a man-made dam creates a fishing feast for bald eagles. Fish that go through the dam’s turbines are temporarily stunned, forcing them to float to the surface of the river. This makes for easy targets for bald eagles and other wildlife and attracts them from all over to this fishing hot spot.

This is my new favorite video
Sir, you have some serious skills. I am planning to visit the dam for the first time this winter (hopefully in January). I am simultaneously inspired and intimidated by your work. Following that dropped fish all the way to the water was genius.
Thank you! Good luck with your visit! I heard spring is great time to go as well with the shad run.
I was there last weekend and it was a very quiet day unlike others I've been. I will try to go again in a couple of months. Great video Mike
@@DoctorVinylVibes I heard April and may is good there. You just never know what it’s going to be like. Good luck!
@@mikelemeryfilms in previous years I have only gone in October and it had been active. I will definitely try it in May and/or April. Thank you
@@DoctorVinylVibes similar for me, I usually go in late November, but word around the dam was that spring was better last year than the fall.
Wow Mike! I am amazed by the aerobatic capability of the eagles, it is truly awesome! Do they drop the fish to be ready to fight? That talon lock sequence was really cool too! As mentioned below by Justin, "you have some serious skills sir!!!"
Its my favorite place to go to watch those beautiful eagles in action .beautiful footage. Thank you for sharing. Happy new year to you and your family 🦅❤🦅🎊🎊
It’s hard to beat! Happy new year!
Wow, the Eagles put up quite a show for you and you captured it all on film with astonishing quality. If I should ever go swimming there, I will remember your comments. I don't want to get stunned...
Haha!
Always a joy to watch!! Well done and Happy New Years!
Thank you! Happy new year!
THANK YOU MIKE LEMERY, FOR THIS FANTASTIC FILM. YOU ARE A GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER, BUT ALSO A FANTASTIC FILMMAKER. I HOPE THAT I MAY SHARE THIS SPECTACULAR FILM ON MY FACEBOOK. IF IT IS NOT ALLOWED, PLEASE TELL ME THANK YOU 🌹🌱
Why do they bully the fish dropping and skipping them 🤣🥲
Thank you for posting!
0:44 - That's one, ballsy falcon!
I know!
Eagles are always amazing! Thanks for the good work.
Some nice footage. I would have edited out the shots where the eagles are behind those power lines crossing from the dam to Rowland Island.
Thanks, why would you edit that out?
Because it's distracting and not very attractive when those wires are so close in front of the birds and because it would be easy to make your "in point" after the birds drop below the wires and the wires are no longer in the frame. Of course, it's a personal decision ... I just try to avoid them in stills and in video when I am there. Still a nice video ... just my two cents.
@@rghurst I’m documenting the bald eagles at conowingo dam and the wires are a part of the dam. I’m not trying to make it look better than it is, I’m showcasing their behavior,
@@mikelemeryfilms I think having the dam infrastructure in the background is great. It's just the shots that have those cables/wires directly/close in front of the birds that I think you could do without. It's just a few seconds here and there. Again, it's your video, so feel free to ignore me completely ;-)
GreT action sequences Mike 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼just pure adrenaline 😱
Thanks!
Bro this is absolutely amazing!! Top Notch to say the least!!! I love watching these!! You capture the behavior and action very well!! I know it’s intense I do some video work as well so I know being able to capture what you have is a great feeling and it never gets old!! Keep the great content coming!! Happy New Year and GOD bless!!
Thank you! Happy new year!
