SEQUIM – Hearing this birder talk is a trip in itself.
“For bald eagles, this is a hot and heavy time of the year. The adults are paired up and the young birds are back in town,” begins Bob Boekelheide, director of the Dungeness River Audubon Center and imitator of all things feathered.
“Right now they’re actively courting and nest-building, so you’ll see the eagles screaming their heads off,” he continues.
“Just the other day at the River Center, they were flying around in circles and screaming.”
Boekelheide leads bird walks Wednesday mornings at the center.
He also organizes “Owling in the Owlympics” and other outings.
Many of us, however, can’t join him.
We have to work.
Fortunately, a kind of paper version of Boekelheide is about to come out.
It’s the North Olympic Peninsula Birding Trail Map, and it’s entertaining reading.
