Eagle season has arrived

 It took a while, but I think it is safe to say that eagle season has arrived!  When we ventured out after today's torrential rains......


there were eagles everywhere - this the 'eagle tree' by the viewing platform...


I stood in one spot at the log bay and took pictures from left to right across the flats - this #1


#2


#3

#4



#5 - and they continued on even further.

and they weren't just 'out there'


almost every tree sported an eagle 'drip drying'.


a bit more water showing up now, which is good because there are sure a lot of Chum Salmon.  Maybe after this weekend with it's prediction of more rain, we might actually have a 'bay' here again.

Lot's of gulls around too....


including the tiny and unusual for this area, Bonaparte Gull on the left, beside a young Short-bill Gull. These guys are after the salmon eggs, not the salmon themselves.

where this guy, probably an Olympic (cross between a Glaucous-wing and Western) is eyeing a live salmon just below it.
