<p>I spent a day traveling to the Skagit River to view the <a href="/2009/02/14/river-mountains-eagles/">eagles</a> when all I really had to do was go to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fay_Bainbridge_State_Park">Fay Bainbridge</a> – the park hosts a pair overlooking the Sound from their nest.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skagit_River">Skagit River</a> is renown for the migration of Bald Eagles who flock to the shores waiting to feast on the spawning salmon. On Thursday my uncle and I floated down the river with <a href="http://www.blueskyoutfitters.com/skagit-eagle.php">Blue Sky Outfitters</a> to view and photograph the eagles.</p>

<p>We had the good fortune this weekend to see a number of birds of prey, including quite a few Bald Eagle sightings. There is something inspiring about seeing a Bald Eagle launch from its perch and soar over-head.</p>
