Just got back to Hoquiam from Lake Quinault. We drove from the Lodge to
where the Graves Creek Bridge is out. Our count was 53 Bald eagles! One
way that is. Did not count on the way back. Spectacular! We were up on
the Skagit not quite a month ago and saw 43 before we left, running through
a new snow fall, but were thrilled to hear from someone this week that there
were eagles up the Quinault. Worth the trip.
Also during our snow here, we enjoyed the Varied Thrushes that were showing
up in the yard. They have continued coming off and on and also a couple of
Spotted Towhee. ...Seemingly countless little Pine Siskins these days also.
On a walk during the snow we saw what must have been a Northern Shrike with
lunch. First one for us here.
Happy birding!
