RHH's photos with the keyword: methow

This is the same bird as below, but the photo was taken while he was flying away with his catch, just visible in his claws. Our presence and attempts to get pictures frightened him away apparently and this was the last shot we were able to get of him. This was along the Methow River in eastern Washington.

An Osprey or Fish Eagle photographed along the Methow River south of Twisp, Washington. He had been fishing and actually has a fish in his left claw, but it cannot be seen in the photo. We watched him for quite a while until he finally flew away with his catch. The Methow Valley and River are on the eastern side of the Cascades.
