Bald Eagles on the Nooksack River | Washington Wildlife in 4K

Each winter, bald eagles congregate around Washington's Nooksack River to feed on the salmon that swim upstream to spawn. I filmed these migratory and resident bald eagles over 3-4 weeks in November and December, capturing their most active moments this winter.
I spent many rainy and frigid mornings settling-in on the riverside in anticipation of witnessing these majestic birds in action. Some days, I only managed to capture a few seconds of usable footage, as wildlife is unpredictable, and animal habits are ever-changing. However, I always walked away having learned something new and with a greater appreciation and reverence for our natural world.
Have you ever witnessed bald eagles in their natural habitat? Feel free to share your experiences or thoughts below!

    🧆THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God is saving man from the imminent destruction of this old world" (Each one of you must reexamine your life--faith in God to see if, in pursuing God, you have truly understood, truly understood, and truly known God, if truly know what kind of attitude God tolerates with different kinds of people, and if you truly understand what God is doing with you and what God means in your every action. Do you know how you He guides? Do you know the way He leads you? Do you know what He wants to get from you and what He wants to achieve in you? Do you know the source of His joy, anger, sadness, and joy, the thoughts and ideas behind them, and His essence? Do you know, ultimately, what kind of God is this God you believe in? Do you, in the midst of chastisement and judgment of God, became aware of the rebellious and satanic nature of man and gained some insight into God's holiness? Have you, under the guidance and enlightenment of God's word, begun to have a new perspective on life? No matter how many years a person has believed in God, if he has never experienced or felt any of God's words, then he has definitely not walked the road to salvation, his faith in God is definitely without real flesh, his knowledge of God is definitely not there, and he clearly has no idea how to respect God.) Almighty God said Each of you must RE-EXAMINE your LIFE---FAITH in GOD to SEE if, in PURSUIT of GOD, you TRULY UNDERSTAND, TRULY UNDERSTAND, and TRULY KNOW GOD, if you TRULY KNOW you know what ATTITUDE GOD ENDURES IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEOPLE, and if you REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT GOD DOES TO YOU and WHAT GOD MEANS in your every ACTION. 🛑 This GOD, is by your side, GUIDES the DIRECTION of your PROGRESS, DETERMINES your DESTINY, and SUPPLIES your NEEDS---in the end, how much do you understand and HOW MUCH do you REALLY KNOW ABOUT Him ? Do you know what He DOES to YOU ​​every DAY? Do you know the PRINCIPLES and OBJECTIVES that HE GUARDS with his every ACTION? Do you know HOW He GUIDES you? Do you know the way He provides for you? ☀️ Do you know the METHODS of His LEADING YOU? Do you know WHAT HE WANTS TO GET from YOU and what HE WANTS TO ACHIEVE FROM YOU? Do you know his ATTITUDE when it comes to your different BEHAVIORS? Do you know if YOU are a PERSON HE LOVES? 🛑 Do you KNOW the SOURCE of His JOY, ANGER, SADNESS, and JOY, the THOUGHTS and IDEAS BEHIND them, and His ESSENCE? Do you know, FINALLY, what KIND OF GOD is this GOD you BELIEVE in? 🛑🙏 Are these and other QUESTIONS like that THINGS that you have NEVER UNDERSTOOD or CONSIDERED? In your CONTINUOUS FAITH in GOD, have you, THROUGH TRUE APPRECIATION and EXPERIENCE of GOD's WORDS, been CLARIFIED from your wrong understandings about Him? Are you, AFTER RECEIVING GOD'S DISCIPLINE and CORRECTION, REALLY SUBMITTING and CARING? Did you, in the MIDST of GOD'S PUNISHMENT and JUDGMENT, KNOW the REBELLIOUS and SATANIC NATURE of MAN and GAIN some understanding of GOD'S HOLYNESS? 🛑 Have you, UNDER THE GUIDANCE and ILLUMINATION of the WORD of GOD, STARTED to have a NEW PERSPECTIVE about LIFE? Do you, in the MIDST of the TEST SENT by GOD, FEEL His DISAPPOINTMENT to HUMAN SINS and even WHAT HE ASKS of YOU and HOW HE SAVES you? 🛑 If you do not know how to misunderstand God, or how to clear up this misunderstanding, then it can be said that you have never really entered into true communion with God and have never understood God, or at least it can be said that you never wanted to understand Him. If you do not know WHAT GOD'S DISCIPLINE and CORRECTION is, then you certainly do not know WHAT SUBMISSION and CARE is, or at least you have never really SUBMITTED or CARED for GOD. If you have NEVER EXPERIENCED GOD'S PUNISHMENT and JUDGMENT, then you really WILL NOT KNOW WHAT HIS HOLINESS IS, and even more it will NOT be CLEAR to you WHAT HUMAN REBELLION IS. If you have never really had a RIGHT VIEW on LIFE, or a RIGHT PURPOSE in LIFE, but are still confused and can't DECIDE about your FUTURE LIFE PATH, even to the point where you hesitate to CONTINUE, then definitely not you have never REALLY RECEIVED GOD'S ILLUMINATION, and it can also be said that you have never been truly supplied or filled with God's words. ☀️ If you have not been under the test of God, it is clear that you will not really know how God does not tolerate the sins of people, or you will not be able to understand what God ultimately asks of you, and especially, what to do. He of MANAGING and SAVING MAN. NO MATTER HOW MANY YEARS A PERSON HAS BELIEVED IN GOD, if he has NEVER EXPERIENCED or FELT any of GOD'S WORDS, then he has definitely NOT WALKED THE WAY TO SALVATION, his FAITH in GOD is definitely WITHOUT REAL flesh, his KNOWING of GOD is definitely NONE and it is CLEAR that he has NO naivety on how to RESPECT God. 🙏 From "Knowing God is the Path to Having the Fear of God and Avoiding Evil" Fulfillment of "When I looked up, someone handed me a book wrapped in a scroll. I opened it and I read on both sides the prayers, sorrows, and curses." (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His garment was stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God" (Rev. 19:13). 📩 All who have "ears to listen" are led to what the Spirit of God is saying in His lowered and built kingdom/Church engraved with His new name, His totality, the ownership of this disposition, "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD "💐 fulfillment from what was said He to Peter 2,000 years ago recorded in (Matthew 16:18-19). His Coming is the fulfillment of all that was prophesied in the great book of Revelation, so the last "Salvation" He brought the whole truth, the way for eternal life. So the "victorious" ones who will receive them are the wise "virgins" because as recorded in the prophecy of His return no one knows it except the one who will receive it! So "come" and come to His kingdom/church standing in the holy place in the air/KZread! This is also a fulfillment from the book of (Isaiah 2:2/9:6) which He first fulfilled in His first incarnation. 📥 "They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... and (Isaiah 2: 2 / 9:6) "On the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock there. " .

    Thank you so much! That's really awesome to hear - glad you enjoyed it! I have a handheld recorder that's decent for general atmospheric noises and a small shotgun microphone that's better for isolating sounds in a specific direction. However, sometimes capturing clean sound is not possible due to nearby traffic, people talking, the roar of the river, long distance shots, etc. For example, it was not possible to record the sound of the eagle ripping apart the salmon on the bank of the river. I was too far away (using a super tele lens) so I couldn't hear anything other than the river. In this case, I needed to create my own soundscape to best represent the immersive environment. For this scene specifically, I used 4-8 layers of recordings of me splashing puddles and snapping fresh vegetables. Happy to answer any other questions you may have!

    @@nathanrollsphotography Is this place near the Mosquito bridge on the Mosquito Lake Rd? I went there around in the middle of the day few years ago and I just saw few perched eagles on the other side of the stream / shallow river along the Truck Road. Few people told me that I need stay in a hotel so I can get there earlier. Thank you.

    @@georgetran1766 I live about 90 minutes away from that area and had to leave rather early in the morning in order to arrive by sunrise. The eagles were most active early in the morning and later in the afternoon. I'd use the mid-day as an opportunity to photograph elsewhere until the eagles became more active again. But yes, I was in and around that area. Some days and locations were more successful than others. Nature is unpredictable, of course.

    Thank you! Beautiful area - will definitely be back there this fall and winter. I'm mounting my camera and lenses on a Gitzo fluid head. Isn't quite as smooth as a dedicated video panning head, but I only wanted one head as a hybrid shooter. It's a decent in-between, a good compromise for both stills and video.

    bravo, remarkable video, such majestic spirits but formidable predators at the same time, feel blessed when I see them, I consider them heavenly but also a force to be reckoned with, its quite the feeling as on one trip to the ocean I had one fly so low over me that I felt and heard the wind from its wings, liked and sub.

    Thank you! For this video, I was filming on the Canon R3. I used a 600mm lens paired with a 1.4x teleconverter for the eagle clips and a 70-200mm lens for the landscape clips. It's an exciting time to get into videography. Most mirrorless cameras today (even every-level) can capture stunning images and videos.
