More Bald Eagles than you can shake a stick at!

The Skagit River Bald Eagle season is in full swing from now until February. If you can, take a drive up Highway 20 into the North Cascades for prime eagle viewing. The Skagit River watershed area is home to one of the largest populations of wintering eagles in the world.

January 24th and 25th is the Upper Skagit Bald Eagle Festival and the Skagit River Interpretive Center is open with regular hours posted on their website: http://www.skagiteagle.org/.

Go see it! It's just one more reason why Skagit Valley is so cool!

We have a great place to watch bald eagles in our area as well. I live on the edge of a 400 acre nature reserve where eagles nest and across the river is another wildlife refugee, Mason Neck State Park. It is such a thrill to watch them fish on the river and teach the fledgings to fly in the spring.

Cindy - That sounds awesome! We get a lot of military families here from Virginia- we are right next to Whidbey NAS! What could be more patriotic than the eagle migration?! I hope you have a great New Year in real estate!

Hi Meredith, I hope to get up to Port Townsend in April this year. My parents will be house-sitting for a friend for a month, and invited me to visit (nice of them, since I split their airline tickets with my brother LOL). I do hope to get up there, as it sounds just beautiful.

Same here...the bald eagles are fishing on the shores of the lake in droves! Carpenters working on lake homes are having trouble paying attention to their job while they watch the "eagle show"! I love it!

Tim - you will love Port Townsend - beautiful place!

Kent - we are lucky to live in places where we get to see stuff like that!

Happy New Year!
