Now Eagle Festival is over

So Eaglefestival is over.  Weather on Saturday was better than predicted, Sunday was pretty much a wash out - literally!

Official count for Saturday was the best in years, 2,270 eagles counted from the boat tour from Kilby beach up the Harrison River to the turn around point.

Of course Saturday morning was the first morning in weeks when didn't see or even hear an eagle during the morning dog walk....Sunday was so wet didn't even look...and now today with the chaos gone....the eagles were everywhere.


those are the eagle trees by the viewing platform...


and there were more in the trees at the log bay


just off from the log bay could see a couple of snoozing swans and could hear there were more out there.  Also see there is a Cackling Goose there and a few Mallard and a Common Merganser...

Out there on the flats....


think there are 38 Bald Eagles out there....

but it was a lot closer in where there was a bit of action.....


this guy was enjoying this salmon...


a Glaucous-wing Gull was patiently waiting....


while another eagle didn't have much patience...


and quickly stole it...


but not for long....


ending up as book ends....

and one last thing....took this the other day and forgot to post it...


a Pacific Wren....hear these guys pretty much every day but getting a picture of one is always a challenge.
