Two Eagles wait for a salmon dinner. SLIDESHOW: CLICK ON THE PHOTO TO PLAY SLIDESHOW.
Julie Burr Spani stepped out on her deck at Three Tree Point one morning last week to discover two bald eagles perched on her neighbor's roof. Some fisherman had caught a salmon in front of her house and she sent the picture to the Highline Times.
She surmised the two big birds were planning to help themselves to what remained on the beach after some fisherman cleaned it.
Eagles are fairly common at the Point and nest at Eagle Landing Park in Seahurst.
We have another Eagle who lives on the hill near the park.
He is Guy Harper, who got his prized Eagle Scout honor way back in 1946 as a member of scout Troop 377. The troop had meetings in a small building, just off Maplewild. It is the highest award given.
One of his fellow scouts in Troop 377 is Burien attorney Doug Moreland who lives on Three Tree Point.
Harper is a graduate of Highline High, Class of 1950 and the University of Washington where he joined the Husky rowing team that won national honors.
He lives is a master carver of Northwest Indian art objects. He lives in Gregory Heights but spent much of his youth at Three Tree Point and was lucky enough to be there when the Boeing experimental Boeing hydrofoil flipped over and he took the picture shown here.
