The Bald Eagle, as the national symbol of the United States of America, is grand and majestic, but is also a bird living in a world of rain and dirt, of skies bright and dark, hunting and fighting – a true eagle. Klaus Nigge traveled to the Aleutian Islands where there is a large population of bald eagles. There it is either raining, or just lousy weather. At Dutch Harbor on Unalaska Island, the largest fishing port in the States, the eagles are not shy, being used to human contact, offering original opportunities to the photographer.
