Spilling Thought: How many #baldeagles can you fit in a single tree? Apparently, at least 50! Chuck Hilliard took this pic back in 2012 along the #NooksackRiver near Deming, #Washington. The eagles gather here for the early winter to feed on spawning chum salmon. Chuck’s explanation of why there were so many eagles the tree: The eagle parents appeared to be supervising their young as they fed on the salmon. “If an adult from outside this area flew in and harassed the young, the parental adults would fly down and run it off. It was pretty cool watching and listening,” he said. Photo courtesy of Chuck Hilliard. by usinterior
