Golden Eagle at Skellefteå

Golden Eagles are among the most sought-after sights for photographers travelling to Skellefteå, where the boreal forests, mires, and river valley along the Skellefteälven meet the Gulf of Bothnia. This stretch of taiga in Västerbotten County offers a fittingly wild backdrop for the species, particularly through March. Those joining Northern Sweden's Eagles In Winter will find this landscape central to the experience, with its open river valley and forest edges providing valuable vantage points. Patience and appropriate cold-weather preparation are well rewarded here.
