North Fork of the Nooksack River
I took a short trip just a few miles out of town to view the bald eagles along the North Fork of the Nooksack River in Whatcom County. I have shown these critters before but I never seem to tire of watching these majestic raptors and the marvelous salmon on which they feed. What follows is a photo essay on the relationship between these two species and nature itself.
The Daily Bucket is a regular feature of the Backyard Science group. It is a place to note any observations you have made of the world around you. Insects, weather, meteorites, climate, birds and/or flowers. All are worthy additions to the bucket. Please let us know what is going on around you in a comment. Include, as close as is comfortable for you, where you are located. Each note is a record that we can refer to in the future as we try to understand the patterns that are quietly unwinding around us.
