Eagles

Andy already posted some about our trip to Eagle Beach, which really lives up to its name. But I have more pictures and more to say about eagles :). I love that there are eagles everywhere. We are not sure how many kinds of eagles are here and what kinds they are, but the bald eagles are easy to spot. When we rode the tram we got to see one up close that is being rehabilitated, and I was amazed at its size. Its as tall as Sydney and definitely weighs more than she does. Anyway, they are everywhere and I'm always trying to get pictures of them. When we got to Eagle Beach, I counted at least five possibly seven eagles at various places along the huge beach. We had binoculars, but some we too far away to tell still. While Sydney played, I kept trying to catch pictures of them as they came and sat in the surf and then took off. You'll have to zoom in to see them well and if your on a phone, I don't think you'll be able to see them. Try to see how many you can find! We also saw 3 seals or sea lions... we could only see their heads... right off the shore that day! I took a picture but if you zoom you can just barely tell they are some kind of seal. Thats the second to last picture and you'll have to look for the brown spots in the water. I need a camera inside our binoculars! The last picture I took when we went to look for tide pools at Auke Bay. Its still not close enough and kind of grainy since my cameras zoom was all the way in I guess, but you can definitely see the eagle (on the pole if you couldn't find it).
