Bald Eagle

I met with Francesca and Alexandra for a nice early season base building bike ride. We road along the Burke-Gilman trail, and on the way out, we saw some people staring at a tree by the side of the trail. It turns out they were looking at some bald eagles, so we stopped to look as well.

Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera. One eagle was sitting out on a branch, looking back and forth. The other was hidden by branches a bit, and I never really got a good look at it.

Last year while running at nearby Cougar Mountain, I saw a bald eagle fly overhead. I think today's spotting was the closest I've ever been to one!
