Day 121: Eagle eyes

Well, not so much an eagle as a vulture. We don't see too many turkey vultures in the Vancouver area, though they are common in the Gulf Islands, the Sunshine Coast and Vancouver Island. I always liked seeing them when we lived in Maryland and distinctly remember encountering a group of half-a-dozen or more in the middle of a quiet back-road somewhere in Maryland or Virginia. So it was a pleasant surprise to see a pair of them on my bike road home from work on a sunny Thursday. A bald eagle was perched in a nearby tree, and would occasionally look up at the vultures, casting an eagle-eye on them...
