New Jersey?!?!?

I took those pictures in the Last Frontier.

We've got another bright clear day up here. I just walked out in the driveway and counted 14 bald eagels a little after 8 am. If I get my morning chores done I'll take some more pictures today and post them this afternoon.

Hi All-

Oops, my bad! I was reading too quickly and believed these were bald eagles photographed in the northern part of New Jersey, which is experiencing big growth in the variety of animals and birds. Glad to see there are so many of these magnificent birds up in Alaska these days...

That will teach me to post when I up awake WAY past a decent bedtime!

I'll never forget seeing bald eagles up close and personal in Alaska, on a fishing trip on the river outside of Anchorage. Just amazing creatures! And the sound they make when they smack the water when they dive will startle anyone, those guys are noisy!

Alaska is truly an amazing place, I'm jealous...a little, I have a brother who lives up there, and I can visit. :)

If you have'nt been there, GO. You will NOT regret it. And I highly recommend a cruise up to the glaciers - seeing whales and orcas in the wild is something you'll never forget - especially when a large whale breaches near your puny boat.

Clear days mean cold days during winter. It was 8°F a little after 10 am. The camera quit focusing so I only kept a few. Most of them were too far away this morning.
