Coeur d'Alene Press | UPDATED 1 week, 3 days AGO
The Press is seeking entries for its Bald Eagle Photo contest.
Whether you're a seasoned photographer or beginner, this contest is your time to spotlight eagles as they snare kokanee from Lake Coeur d'Alene, soar above the trees and rest on branches.
First Prize: A free night at The Coeur d’Alene Resort
Second Prize: A two-hour boat rental
Third Prize: A $75 gift certificate for Hagadone companies
Bald eagles have been putting on good shows near Higgens Point and Mineral Ridge, with plenty of kokanee.
Carrie Hugo with the Bureau of Land Management is again counting eagles. Her numbers were 100 on Nov. 14, 118 on Nov. 19, and 294 on Nov. 26.
What traditionally has been a great time to see eagles is approaching. On Dec. 20, 2023, Hugo counted a record 409 eagles. The previous week, she counted 379 eagles.
A few rules: The photo must be taken in December this year and at Lake Coeur d'Alene. A photographer is limited to one prize. Deadline for submissions is Jan. 5, 2026.
The Press will publish the winning photos in January. Send your digital images to [email protected]. Please include the date and place of the photograph. A few details, like conditions and equipment used, would be great.
