From late November to early February, bald eagles migrate down from Alaska and Canada by the hundreds to the Skagit River in search of food. The Skagit River produces 60% of the Puget Sound’s wild Chinook Salmon so to the bald eagles, it’s an all you can eat buffet.
We ended 2017’s adventures on a high note with a wonderful and cold excursion with skagiteagles.com as a Christmas gift from our parents. With hand warmers in our pockets, we bundled up in waterproof winter gear with high hopes of seeing just a handful of Bald Eagles on our Jet Sled Photography Tour along the Skagit River.
We got more than we bargained for. We hoped to see just a handful but there were bald eagles everywhere we looked! With that said, here is an excessive amount of bald eagle photos. Don’t worry, I only posted 38 of the 300 photos I took. 😉
This bald eagle boy band looks like they’re about to drop their next album.
Our guide had a bucket stocked with fish to entice the eagles.
“Why am I here?”
Don’t worry, Mr. Fishy is ok. They’re just being friendly.
Just kidding. Mr. Fishy’s gonna need a bandaid for that.
Like most vain adolescents these days, this bald eagle would like you to behold him in all his majestic glory. If he had opposable thumbs, I’m sure he’d be taking plenty of #baldselfies.
