A Whack of Eagles

Coming back from the gym this morning and I look out at the river and there is 5 Bald Eagles in various positions along the bank. I have seen dozens and dozens of them on the way up to Helmlock Valley to go skiing, but never more than a few on the Vedder/Chilliwack River System. I’ve seen them as pairs, or as loners out fishing but never as a “A Whack of Eagles", as I referred to them, so I had to go get the camera and snap a few photos.

Of course I am pulled over at the side of the road taking pictures and EVERYONE has to pull over and scare the birds away. So, you will notice in the picture on the left there is one flying off at the top left of the picture and two still standing on the bank.
