November has brought a lot of rain to the Pacific Northwest. Erika and I ventured out during a lull on 3 November 2021 to the forest in southern Mason County a few miles east of Olympia. We did not bring the camera in the rain, but did manage a cell phone photo of two eagles perched high above a stream. Dead and dying fish are preferred by eagles, which, around here, commonly congregate around salmon streams. Although opportunistic foragers, and not adverse to taking birds or mammals—dead or alive—Bald Eagles prefer fish.
