One of my favorite eagle shots, for some reason. This eagle perched on a snag over Canoe Pass. I’ve passed over this bridge countless times over the years and have only seen an eagle on that cliff site once or twice. The snag has since suffered the ravages of time.
Cormorants fly close to the water, heading west at Deception Pass between Fidalgo and Whidbey islands.
