Winter on the Nooksack River

The North Fork of the Nooksack River is well know for Bald Eagles in the winter among photographers. It is almost two hours from our house so Jody and I haven't made it up there too many times. After our most recent late January visit I'm determined to make it a more frequent destination next year. With the naked eye you could scan up the river and see a dozen or more eagles. At one point a half dozen of the landed on a sandbar about sixty feet away and argued over a very ripe salmon carcass.
