The eagle has landed

Every January hundreds of bald eagles travel to the middle reaches of the Skagit River en route to nesting grounds, stopping for several weeks to enjoy delicious salmon, get photographed by thousands of tourists and be feted by locals. Heather and I trekked up there yesterday (and then onward to Deception Pass) to enjoy some unseasonably beautiful weather... once the fog finally burned off around mid-day.

Enjoy the new GALLERY.  (updated 2/27 to point to new gallery location at Flickr)
