Apparently the month of January is when all the bald eagles flock to the rivers up north in Washington to eat salmon.  Jason and I had planned to drive up there and take pictures, but I woke up Saturday morning just not feeling the 3 hour one way drive… and I’m not super into birds anyway. So instead of doing that, we caught the sunrise down south in Allyn along the waterfront. It was a 20 minute drive instead and I got a latte at the end of it!

Since we were already out and about and the birdwatching was less than stellar in Allyn, Jason and I stopped by Thelar Wetlands in Belfair.  It was on the way home anyway.  For some reason I always think that Thelar should have a ton of birds to shoot and it literally never does.  We saw a hawk all the way across the field, and one egret too far away to even get a picture of.  However, we got a little walk in and I got some neat pictures of the fog and the wetlands, so it wasn’t a wasted trip.
