Eagle Encounters
North of Seattle you’ll find the fields and trees are lousy with Bald Eagles. They are a real treat in the SF Bay Area because of their relative rarity, but up north… well, they are still a treat, even in their multitude.
For this post in particular – click on any of the images to see a larger, more detailed version.
A Bald Eagle in flight is a thing of fearsome beauty.
At full stretch the wingspan is impressive.
This screaming eagle shares its tree with a number of Mourning Doves.
So I’ve heard all the talk about giant eagle nests but it is pretty cool to see one improbably perched in a tree with a tiny Bald Eagle taking a rest in it.
wow. thank you walter!

Hmmm…lousy with eagles?
Compared to the startling biomass of our species, how do eagles compare, tonnage-wise?

I use the term affectionately. Of course we are the lousiest.

These birds are seriously beautiful … in fact, they’re lousy with beauty.

Lovely eagle pictures! I’ve been getting a lot of eagles in my skies lately, too, but I’ve yet to get close enough for a decent picture. I’m in danger of becoming an eagle stalker; I’ve been chasing them all over the place, hoping they’ll land, but they stay high in the sky, soaring serenely out of range.
