Hi,

  It seemed like every other tree in the Samish Flats had a Bald Eagle
in it today!
Many times you could see more than one.  Here's a link to just one photo I
took today - taken on the approach to Samish Island.  I saw at least,
and perhaps as
many as 30 different Bald Eagles today.  A few pairs but mostly alone. 
No activity in
any of the nests that I saw.

  The East 90 had about 20 photogs ... but no SEOWs and only one
Harrier in the
two hours I was there.  I saw -one- SEOW out near where the eagle pic was
taken.  LOTS of ducks this year - in the ditches and puddles and
temporary lakes.
Also lots of Trumpeters - even in Pond Sterling (pun intended).
