I really hesitate to post these pictures.... with the eagles, come the photographers....this wouldn't be an issue if everyone would just stay on the trails, obey the barriers and signage and respect the environment, unfortunately, not everyone does.
this is a prime example. Why? With a lens that size there is no need be down, past the barrier, a few feet further back isn't going to make the slightest difference. Of course you will notice there aren't any eagles there....not surprising, they tend to take off when they spot people, especially people packing lots of equipment.
and there are eagles....this taken while walking the trail, with dogs and a camera that can be tucked under my jacket...
Eagles have been known to kill gulls, but when there is this much food lying around, they are happy to share.
weather, today, could best be described as unsettled. This was Harrison Bay this afternoon, not visible in this picture, but there was a dusting of snow on all the surrounding hill tops.
there were about a dozen eagles scattered along the walk, this one a juvenile....
this one almost an adult.
Besides eagles...
there were some Dark-eyed Junco....
and a total of 4 Northern Flicker - this one a female.
Also noted was....
dinner plate sized Fly Agaric or Amanita Mushroom. Thought they were finished, but this one showed up today.
