and thick and fast they came at last……

OK, I’m not talking in general terms here but in regards to an event today that we’ll get to in a bit….

Bald Eagles

It was a showery damp day today, and got damper as our walk progressed…with the eagle festival just 4 days away, water levels are just about perfect right now for optimum viewing.  This little grouping of Bald Eagles were posing nicely as we started out on our walk – and yes, all that ‘white’ are gulls….

Heron and some ducks

a Great Blue Heron was just a bit further along, with American Wigeon and Mallard (1 female in picture).

Mallards

some other Mallards were just relaxing…one fellow having a nice stretch!

Juvenile and 2 year old

The ‘eagle’ trees by the viewing platform had a few occupants including this pair of youngsters…

Eagles in trees by golf course

there were even more down off of the golf course where an ‘eagle release’ had taken place today.

but it was out on the flats where things got interesting…

Something good here!
