Thanks to two photographers for sharing beautiful views of bald eagles in West Seattle this past week. Top photo is by Leroy Lewis, from the 3000 block of 50th SW; next three, by Gary Jones at Alki Point:

The Eagle BY ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON
He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring’d with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
I love all the eagle pics. Growing up in LA doesn’t afford any opportunity to see such a beautiful creature. Love them.
Never saw them firsthand before moving here (previous cities included LA), and I will never get blasé about it! We are so thankful for everyone who shares photos … TR
Thanks so much to the photographers for your photo contributions and to Sc for including the poem. Nice touch for the day.
Great photos! Many thanks to those who submitted them and also to TR at the WSB for reminding us just how awesome our local wildlife is.
It looks like the nest across from Salty’s is gone! Have you heard anything? I used to see Salty everyday, but now there are no eagles on this side, the Admiral bluff.
We’ve been asked several times about this in the past month or two. We checked with a couple of area wildlife watchers and it seems no one formally tracks these things so nobody’s sure what happened, but they do change locations sometimes, one person told us. – TR
