Bald Is Beautiful


Day 135: Bald Eagles are far from uncommon in western Washington, but we seem to be experiencing a strong influx of them here these last few weeks. They appear fairly consistently along the Mashell River in Eatonville where this photo was taken, but I have been hearing them reported in downtown Graham and South Hill as well as other relatively urban locations. Today there were two along the Mashell, roosting together in the same tree, too far apart to capture in the same shot. They were playing peek-a-boo with me between branches as the wind blew and light snow spit down. It was a chilly but rewarding day for watching Baldies.
