年末年始にハクトウワシを撮影したい。

胆なワシを撮影できる特別なスポットをご存知ですか？ハイキングをよくしていて、高く飛ぶ大胆なワシをよく見かけます。でも、ハクトウワシの写真を撮るのは本当に難しいと知っています。どんな望遠鏡のレンズをお持ちですか？近くで大胆なワシを撮影できたのはたった2回だけでした。その時はソニーの24-105mm望遠鏡レンズで十分でした。

Do you know a few special spots to take pictures of bold eagle ? I hike often and see bold eagles flying high. But I know how difficult to take bald eagles pictures. What kind of telescope llenses do you have ? Only two ocasions I was able to take pictures of bold eagles near by. That occasions my Sony 24-105 telescope lens was good enogh.

The recovery of bald eagle populations across North America is one of the great species recovery success stories in the United States. When the species was first listed as Endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act in 1978, the primary reason for its imperiled status was due to the effects of chemical contaminants and, to a lesser extent, habitat loss.

Protection measures allowed bald eagles to make an incredible recovery both within Washington as well as nationally, which led to its federal delisting in 2007. In 2016, WDFW recommended that the designation of sensitive status for bald eagles was no longer appropriate, and that the species be removed from Washington's list of endangered species. Though no longer on Washington's state endangered species list, bald eagles continue to be protected under federal law and remain a protected species in Washington state. The bald eagle's current conservation listing in Washington is "Protected - Other."

Today, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has the primary responsibility for managing bald eagles under the provisions of the federal Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Current federal guidelines for activities that may affect bald eagles are posted on the USFWS website.
