The Majestic Bald Eagle
On a recent trip to Bainbridge Island, Washington, we took a day trip up the Olympic Peninsula to Cape Flattery, the most Northwestern point in the lower United States. As we drove up the coast, we were amazed at the number of Bald Eagles that we saw. In the wild, I had only seen them perched at the top of a tree or soaring over a lake. As I gazed out at the Strait of Juan de Fuca, I was surprised to see them at the edge of the water!
We counted 24 Bald Eagles on our short drive. What an exciting day it was.
Bald Eagles are so majestic!
I am linking up to Outdoor Wednesday, at A Southern Daydreamer. Take a minute and stop by. It is fun to see where everybody has traveled!
Amazing pictures! I saw a bald eagle once in Colorado, soaring over my head. But of course, my photo looked like a dot with wings. These are terrific, thanks for sharing them!
ReplyDeletewow! wonderful pics from the eagle :)
ReplyDelete24! That is sooo awesome. We saw one fly overhead as we were in a creek a few years ago. They are just so impressive. I can see why they are our National Bird. Great photo!
ReplyDeletewow, being so close to a bird like that. It´s wonderful. We have sea eagles where I live but you can never get close to them. To bad. Love your shots.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely AMAZING pictures...

ReplyDeleteWow! We Traveled that route on our motorcycle trip last year. How beautiful. Your pictures of the majestic bird are awesome. I'm so impressed.
ReplyDeleteIncredible photos! We usually Eagle watch on the Mississippi River during winter. This year there were very few this far south, due to the warm winter up north. They are amazing to watch.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a bald eagle in its natural environment. What a wonderful experience- it leaves me in awe.
