Washington winters aren't all that cold, but they're definitely rainy. Luckily, I came prepared (thanks to REI who had waterproof pants on sale the night before...BOO yea!).
The area was beautiful....and in true Pacific NW fashion, cloudy, rainy, and foggy. The lighting was great for picture taking...haha, the only thing I needed was a telephoto lens.
We saw TONS of eagles. Whoever put them on the endangered species list had apparently never been to Alaska or Washington. I know, I know....they're not on the list anymore...and I have proof, in digital form. The picture above was actually a baby bald eagle...haha...their feathers don't turn black and white until they're mature.
Apparently the adults don't really hang with the juveniles very often. So the mature eagle above must be a co-dependent mother....or one of those mom's who tries to hang out with her kids, and dress like she's 16.
