Golden Eagle at Skellefteå

Golden Eagles are among the most sought-after sights for photographers travelling to Skellefteå, where the boreal forests, mires, & 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 & forest edges providing valuable vantage points. Patience & appropriate cold-weather preparation are well rewarded here.
