Bald eagles perform ariel acrobatics for whale watching boat

Submitted by San Juan Outfitters on Mon. May 04 2009

Saturday's whale watching trip departed from Roche Harbor, and eported back seeing a dozen Bald Eagles on Speiden Island. These eagles were soaring, vocalizing, hunting, displaying and even fighting. Naturalist Kevin and Captain Nancy were thrilled to see so many eagles together, and especially so when at one point an adult and a juvenile met in midair, locked talons, and spun downward for a few rotations before releasing each other! This kind of display is always exciting to hear of and pretty impressive to view firsthand. Sometimes a "no whales" report is a blessing in disguise, as it allows us to focus on some other animals out here, and take a look at the wealth of biodiversity present in this rich ecosystem.

How You Can Help

Every one of us can make a difference. Pollution and lack of suitable food are the major factors that are threatening the Southern Resident Orca Whales.

Cleaning up the environment in which they live will not only promote their survival, but will benefit the entire ecosystem. There are many ways that you can help, and we hope that you do.
