This eagle, perched in the branches of a tree near the North Fork of the Skagit River, decided two minutes of his time was all he had to offer this photographer. Up and away!

Canoe Pass perch

This eagle perched on the rocks near the Hole in the Wall, a water passage between Fidalgo Island and the mainland. Not too far from this spot, we saw a pair of raccoons on the beach.
