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.
