In Search of Eagles

Last Saturday, Rene, Linda, Elisa and the dogs, Raphael & Jordan River ventured out in search of eagles. Rene was eager to try out his new closeup camera lense. We heard that you could find lots of eagles at Harrison Mills, near Hemlock Mt. It soon became obvious that the eagles were finished feeding on the salmon run because they weren't there. We tried Kilby beach, but all we found was a lot of decaying salmon on the beach. The biggest challenge was to keep the dogs way from the salmon, they found great delight in rolling on the carcasses
(guess who had to have a bath when we got home!).
All said and done, we saw a few eagles here and there but we didn't capture any on camera, but we had fun and that's what counted!

Elisa found a vertical salmon head to photograph!
