We took a small road trip into Skagit County today, stopping for lunch in La Conner and then off to Rockport to see the bald eagles. This is the best time of year to see them, and we were not disappointed. All told, we saw about ten bald eagles stationed around the river, waiting for salmon to return home to lay their eggs.
The eagle viewing area was staffed with volunteers with high-powered birdwatching scopes. It was amazing to see so many of the eagles in one place. The weather was typical 40-degree clouds and gloom except for the mountains in the distance, which were illuminated by a break in the cloud cover for a few minutes. It made for a spectacular view.
