A new BDB reader sent these amazing photos to share:

"I was Googling "West Seattle" and found the Beach Drive Blog. I really enjoyed all the pics in the area and just had to share this one. My son lives on Alki Dr. (He’s a West Seattle native.) I was just there the week of Aug. 13 – 21st for his wedding. We were sitting on the front deck at his house and my husband noticed the Eagle perched on the light post in front of his house. Of course, I grabbed my camera immediately. Then the eagle flew down on to the beach a started having lunch. It was such an awesome site! We live in northern Virgina near DC and do not see this kind of wildlife, especially in the city. I took many pics of him munching out but he would not look up. Then my husband starting making whistling noises which was when I took this pic. Well, the camera is gone, (it was stolen out of my luggage) but thank goodness I uploaded the 250 wedding and vacation pics onto my daughter-in- law’s laptop before I left."

Thanks so much for sharing your photos!   

I thought I was pretty lucky yesterday when I spied four heron together.  Unfortunately, I could only capture 3 in my camera lens…you’ll have to trust me the solo fellow was standing by the other 3 birds.

You can imagine my surprise when today, I discovered a two-headed bald eagle off of Emma Schmitz Viewpoint.

Okay…I don’t want anyone squawking at me.   It is not a two headed eagle but it was quite a site.   This pair of baldies managed to draw a few onlookers (besides me) from the park.

I should probably just be adding these photos to a Beach Drive Blog album… I may start doing that.    Lunch anyone?

I spied with my eagle (?) eye… I’m not sure if this fellow is an eagle or not.  I’ve never seen one with a white chest and distinguished markings on his head before.   Do any BDB bird watchers know what creature this is?
