Eagles Overhead

March 2, 2021 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

One of the challenges when we see an eagle overhead is trying to understand the who, what, and where is it going. This week’s post tries to take some of the mystery out of our eagle sightings. Find out more on:

Cutter Thrives

Counting Eaglets

June 8, 2019 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

Marsha has a bird’s eye view of the number of eaglets in her nest.

On the other hand, we earth-bound creatures must peer through the leaves and the shadows and take our best guess concerning the number of eaglets in the nest. (Luckily, it is a short walk to Montlake Cut.) Learn more in this week’s post on:

The Hidden lives of Herons

April 7, 2019 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

This week’s post contrasts the early-season nesting behavior of our local Great Blue Herons with our Bald Eagles. Hopefully, my photos and descriptions help to shed some light on these somewhat obscure avian activities.  These were first time observations for me. More at:
