EAGLES. . . EAGLES EVERYWHERE!
The Skagit Valley in northwestern Washington is
fast-food fish heaven (i.e. spawned out salmon) for
bald eagles who come here by the hundreds in mid
January through February. The annual eagle gathering
along the upper Skagit River, primarily from Concrete
to Marblemount, is one of the two largest in the U.S.
outside Alaska. And with lots of RV and county and
state parks open year round in the area, the annual
fly-in is a great reason to spend a couple of days in
the vicinity, binoculars and cameras in hand. Concrete-
Rockport-Marblemount communities host the 19th
annual Upper Skagit Bald Eagle Festival February 5-6.

Thank you Westy,

I shall keep that location and date in mind.

I take it these are photos you have collected.

I went up the Skagit valley in the summertime when
I lived there, but not the winter. We get a fair
number of Bald and Brown eagles in Utah, but not
concentrated like that.

Thanks.
