Guest guest Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Hi Walt, I was in your neck of the woods on the 4th. My husband and I took our 2 Kerry Blue terriers to Deception Pass Beach. It was a little crowded with the holiday and all but we did the little 1.2 mile walk and saw a bald eagle flying then perched at the top of a tall pine tree. In my life growing up I never thought I'd see a bald eagle in the wild and I was so excited to see the majesty of that bird in flight and standing tall looking out over the water. It was worth the drive and time just for that alone. I think the setting is magical and look forward to another trip to Whidby. You are very lucky to live in such an enchanted place.
