Drip drying eagles

The theme for today was drying out…

First bay

it may have still been cloudy and gray, but at least the rain had stopped and everywhere you looked there were Bald Eagles ….

Eagle tree

perched with their wings spread out in an attempt to finally get dry!

 

This was the ‘eagle tree’ down off of the golf course.

another youngster by the first bay…..they were everywhere..

out on the flats

you could see there were lots of eagles out across the flats as well.

Steller’s Jay were the other bird of note today, there seemed to be almost as many of them as there were eagles – well not quite and they are not nearly as co-operative for picture taking!  That large flock of mixed Golden crowned Kinglet and Chestnut-backed Chickadee moved quickly through the tree tops and Towhee and Song Sparrow were calling from all directions.

Out on the water, there wasn’t as much activity.  No ducks at all at the log bay, only Mallard and these

3 Common Merganser
