Two of several pairs of bald eagles who make West Seattle their home took advantage of the relatively low tide near Alki point on March 4 to do some fishing. Pausing briefly in the tree across from the Cactus Restaurant, one eagle of a mating pair watched for fish near the surface and then flew out over the water to seek their prey.

Eagles have been living in Seattle, in recent times, since the 1980's and now approximately two dozen pairs live in the area.
