Many thanks on this Memorial Day to those who have served or are serving now in the Armed Forces, and a very special thanks to those who have paid the ultimate price and gave their lives so that I may live in freedom.
Sitka National Historic Park, Alaska's oldest federally designated park ,was established in 1910 to commemorate the 1804 Battle of Sitka. I took a walk there this morning and saw many eagles and totem poles throughout the park. Here are a few pictures (it's Memorial Day, and as a veteran I am taking it easy :) ).
I like this one because it looks like the carver had some Irish ancestry. The next three pictures are closeups of the totem pole.
See the green hat? Leprechaun right??

The next pictures are of eagles having a spat.
This eagle is minding his own business, sitting on a branch.
This eagle decides to land a bit too close.
The first eagle starts giving him what for.
The interloper is not getting his feathers ruffled.
First eagle decide to leave. The squawking went on for about 2 minutes. Very loud!
Peace.
