How many eagle photos can one take? Never enough. Recent days in the outdoors have included welcome encounters with some beauties. This collection includes eagles from Fidalgo Island, North Whidbey Island and the western agricultural region of Skagit County. I really had to work hard for the photo of the pair, perched on a tree near the edge of Cranberry Lake in Deception Pass State Park. They chose the location well: inaccessible through heavy underbrush. The only thing working in my favor was morning light.
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
