Saturday

We live near a wintering spot for bald eagles and on Saturdays they let people in to the park to see them. We spotted quite a few of the 40 that are currently there and learned a little about these amazing birds. They have wingspans of 5-7 feet and are 40 inches tall. They get the white "bald" head feathers around 5 years of age. The nests they build on the islands in the river are 10 feet across and can weigh 2000 lbs!
And Nora lost her first tooth this morning!

Are the birds out at Hanford?
