Hi Tweeters....Just have to report that my sister & I were out for
a Saturday jaunt (Jan.31) from Othello to Wenatchee and saw not
one, but TWO Bald Eagles!!!!! The first one was spotted by my
eagle-eyed sis at the I-90 rest area between Quincy and Moses Lake
(westbound). It was about 1/4 mile away in a tree,but unmistakeably
a baldie. We ogled him for awhile but it was cold & windy,so we
proceeded on. Our next sighting was less than an hour later on
Highway 28,just past Rock Island Dam. This Bald Eagle was again in
top of a tree beside a golf course and right next to the road!!
He was so close you didn't even really need binoculars to see him.
After that thrill, we had to go to Leavenworth to calm ourselves
down with some German food & beer...and a few hours later on our
way home, we spied Golden Eagle on Hwy 2 between Cashmere &
Wenatchee. It was my most memorable birding adventure ever, which
isn't saying too much, since I really just started paying attention
to birds in the last year or so. My inexperience accounts for the
lack of specific descriptive information about the eagles we saw,
but there is no doubt at all that they were Bald & Golden Eagles,
'cause I've seen LOTS of hawks and these weren't no hawks.
Thanks for reading!!
