I am hearing, that according to David Hancock, there are the most Bald Eagles he's seen in the area since 2010.....I know we are certainly seeing more than we have for sometime. Unfortunately have also heard that it has been a pretty poor Chum Salmon run. Seems to me the salmon were late starting - probably due to the low water levels at the time, there still seem to be quite a few so hopefully the run will continue for a while yet which will keep the birds around.....
Anyway, here goes.....eagles, eagles and nothing but eagles....
as I was starting out, this young one was determined to catch this still living salmon....there was a lot of splashing, but the bird succeeded and got it up on the shore.
this one guarding a pretty good size salmon.
over at the log bay....all those little black dots out there are eagles...
these two just had to perch on the same little stick....
this pond area to the south of the log bay is an absolute hive of activity....no wonder when you look at all the salmon carcasses floating in it!
the flats out there....with all the rain this will probably be underwater again if it isn't already
a pair squabbling over breakfast
and a third comes in to join the party
and take that!
Finally settling down to eat.
heading back....tranquil scene
and a final pair on the shore.
