White-tailed Eagle at Skellefteå

Skellefteå, where the Skellefteälven river empties into the Gulf of Bothnia, offers a striking backdrop for photographing White-tailed Eagles against the boreal forest, mire, and river valley scenery typical of this taiga corner of Västerbotten County. March is the month to visit, when NaturesLens' Northern Sweden's Eagles In Winter holiday brings photographers to this northern coastline in search of these birds. The open river valley and surrounding wetland habitat give a real sense of the wild, far-northern landscape that defines the region. For anyone wanting to capture White-tailed Eagles within this distinctive taiga setting, Skellefteå is the place to be.
