Skagit Birding 2009

Thursday, Feb. 12, we went birding with Paul Woodcock,
Audubon Master Birder. The area around Edison was
especially rich . . . another world with the Skagit flats,
big sky, snowy mountains in the background, and eagles,
hawks, herons, falcons, ducks, swans . . .












Two eagles with their nest . . .
(We saw many, many eagles of all ages)

Likewise, quite a number of blue heron
















Trumpeter swans, of course . . .












And a huge whirring cloud of widgin . . .











. . . flocks of snow geese, teal, and Harrier hawks, kestrel falcons, spooner ducks, Mallard ducks, ruff legged hawks . . .
