My FOY this morning was, not-surprisingly to me, an immature White-crowned Sparrow yardbird. Shortly thereafter, however, breakfast was graced with seeing not the usual one, but two eagles perched very near one another on a couple of the fir tree branches near the Puget Sound shoreline, where one is often seen hanging out…sometimes for hours.
While those two were still on their branches, two more eagles appeared, flying rapidly from north to south and pretty much paralleling the shoreline. A quick look with the glasses reviewed an immature with an adult not far behind. They passed just slightly inland of the trees where the other two eagles were perched and continued south at the same rapid pace. While it is not totally unusual at certain times of year to see two eagles at the same time in this neighborhood, it has not been so usual to see four at the same time in one binoculars view, so I found it a treat.
