getting the pictures up for everyone.During the winter months, migrating Eagles from Alaska, Canada, and the San Juan Islands come south to the Skagit River to feed on the spawning salmon. The salmon are the primary source of food for the migrating Eagles. From mid-December to early February the Skagit has the largest concentration of Bald Eagles. From your raft you're able to watch the birds in their natural surroundings.
This stretch of the Skagit covers 10 miles of Class I (flat) water and is only 90 minutes from my house. I figured this would be a safe and relatively short trip to get Lily intorduced to being on the water. I also thought she'd like seeing the Eagles - we we're right on both accounts. It was whole lot of excitement for her considering she still hadn't yet celebrated her 2nd birthday.
Thanks again for taking pictures Evan!
