Bald at bay’s edge
It was such a beautiful afternoon I decided to take a drive around the northeast part of the island. I was rewarded with this sighting of a bald eagle, perched in a tree overlooking Fidalgo Bay.

Sunny day scenes from Rosario
What a joy it is to live just a few minutes away from island gems such as this: Rosario Beach. On this hike I encountered a couple visiting from Seattle and a young man scoping the area for fishing spots. A few folks stopped to take a view seat on the trail to Bowman Bay.
Winging into a new year

Eagle release: 2001
I photographed this bald eagle in 2001 at the close of a successful rehab. The bird had been injured by a car on Whidbey Island, was released into the wild again when injuries were healed.
Fidalgo Island royalty
To me, bald eagles are among wildlife “royalty” here on Fidalgo Island.
Breakfast time
Not sure about species of this little four-footed animal, but this bald eagle concluded it was “on the menu.” Fidalgo Bay, Anacortes.

Precarious perch
This Fidalgo Island eagle took a few seconds to settle in as he chose a relatively light branch to land on. With very little wind, everything worked out just fine.

Sunny day, news to me
I wasn’t expecting a day of sunshine, but when I pulled up the blinds I immediately determined to grab my camera and take a drive. Among photographic “rewards” were the sightings of four bald eagles, one pictured here as it leaves its shoreline perch. Also spotted two hawks, Canada geese and a number of shorebirds.
