A gathering of Eagles. Count them.

[Scouse]

Last month Terry and I took a trip north, the morning fog cleared and we ran into more Eagles than I'd ever see in one herd. (collective noun..)

The salmon were running. The Snow geese where flying in. The Eagles sat and worked out their menu for the day. Fish or fowl.



And then there were 2.



Then there's always the loner...

Nice captures.

Wooooh...so beautiful. I like the first one for the numbers and the second and third one for the separation from the herd shots. All three are nicely captured.

Appreciate the comments. The Eagles are always fun to find. I haven't come across that many before though.

Nice captures. What an awesome sight seeing so many at once. I have heard you can see this kind of a site in November, when the salmon are spawning, out by Harrison and Kilby.

very nice I came across 17 but they were just blurry little specs on my images, So I can appreciate what you've captured here.

What a good set and story. The third one stands out for me as an image.

[Mike Buckley]

The most eagles I've ever seen at once is seven. This is amazing!

The "herd" of eagles didn't seem to be the right collective noun, so I looked it up. Most web sites indicate that it is convocation, congregation or aerie. I think I'll go with "group."

And I was going to call it a Gaggle...or Murder...

Thanks for the comments guys. Oh and I got 25!

HI Ken:
Where did you find these, Skagit Valley?

[Scouse]

Farther north Bud towards Samish Island near Edison on the flats.

Thanks Binnur.
