here we were yesterday (Nov. 22) morning. Water levels were higher than they have been but that was great because it concentrated.....
the Bald Eagles into a smaller area...by zooming in counted over a hundred birds in this photo.
there were a number of very vocal Tundra Swans out there as well.
The rain held off long enough to get a walk in over at Harrison Bay as well...
where we have never seen so many eagles....
they were perched in trees all along the dyke...
they were out on the log booms...
have never seen that before....
they were everywhere.....and then by late afternoon a pineapple express moved in with pelting rain and high temperatures.... so 24 hours later....
that is as close as could get to the spot where took the first picture the day before....
and out there is where the eagles were concentrated the day before. Water levels rose at least 4 feet over the entire estuary in just 24 hours. Now, if temperatures drop, which they are forecast to do and the rain lets up, which it isn't supposed to do but isn't supposed to be as heavy....then water levels should drop again and there will be a whole new mass of salmon spread all over the estuary, so there will be lots of food for the eagles to keep them around....we shall see.
