January 8, 2005 Washington State has had a little snow lately. Seattle folks have been spared, but we decided to go and find some anyway. |
 |
| Snow's not so bad when you can choose whether or not you want to look at it or drive in it. The trees looked lovely today. |
 |
| The gray skies provided a dramatic contrast to the pure white snow. In this field, several horses were having a fine old time! |
 |
| And oh the eagles! Bald Eagles were everywhere today - sitting in bunches in the trees... |
 |
| taking careful note of everything that was going on around them, and ready to fly at the drop of a glove. |
 |
| Indeed, some trees were laden with six, ten, a dozen or more of these gorgeous and majestic birds. |
 |
| Across the banks of the Skagit River, adult and immature eagles were checking out the supply of salmon available for their dinner. |
 |
| A couple of juveniles thought it was worth fighting over. |
 |
| Here, an eagle swoops lazily overhead, waiting for us to leave before he settles down again. |
 |
| And once in a while, one sits quietly and poses nicely :D It was a very fine day indeed, and we figure we saw more than 200 Bald Eagles. |
