I attended the UW Commencement on Saturday afternoon and noticed one and sometimes two Bald Eagles soaring over Union Bay east of Husky Stadium. They appeared frequently during the four hour ceremony. It was a treat to see them 'bless' the proceedings. Can I assume that these birds were Monty and Marsha or are there other resident eagles in the area?

It apparently suffered a minor injury - we are still waiting to learn the full extent. The good news is it was rescued and survived the fall.
