Harrison Eagles - Dec 17

Flying conditions didn't look inspiring, so instead of parawaiting we checked out our fellow flyers at Harrison River. Each fall thousands of bald eagle congregate here to feast on salmon. Often we get to fly and thermal with these magnificent birds on our fabric wings. But weather didn't look great for flying paragliders and even the eagles were sitting in the trees.



Yes, all of these dots are eagles and Pete counted over 80 just in this group of trees
