A blog about nature and the environment

An Interstate eagle

October
21

I spotted a bald eagle this morning perched in a tree along Interstate 84 in Putnam County. The bird was sitting in Kent, not far from the Bowen Road overpass. I got off the highway and circled back to the overpass to make sure I saw what I saw. He’s in the upper right-hand corner of the second photo, the blotch in the tree. That gives you some sense of his perch. It’s the section of highway between exits 17 and 18.
