Yeah, it's just west of the town of Naches, along U.S. 12. I recommend the
trip. Lots of wildlife in the area. Look for Lewis' Woodpeckers, Harlequin
Ducks in the Tieton, Screech Owls nesting in broken off oaks, fence lizards,
oh my.

Yes, the bulls do seem to have carried their antlers late. The really big
bulls and the spikes looked like they have all dropped their antlers, it was
all the 5 and 6 points bulls that still carried head gear.



As far as the eagles, it might be hard to tell on the internet sized
images, but if you can see the bill that is a good clue to the bird. The
golden eagle bill is dark at the tip fading to a lighter horn or yellow
color at the base, while the bald eagle has a solid yellow bill. Also a
juvenile bald eagle will have bare legs, the golden eagles in these photos
all have heavily feathered legs. From a distance without seeing the bill or
legs clearly they do look similar to juvenile bald eagles.

Nice pictures. I was surprised to see the larger bulls still carrying their

antlers. Seems late. I suspect they'll be dropping them very soon. The

eagles all appear to be Bald Eagles.
