Happy Thursday, everyone!
I have a some Washington State photos to share, these are from our visit to Neah Bay and Cape Flattery. Cape Flattery is the most northwestern spot you can visit in the United States and it is part of the Makah Reservation.
You will need to buy a special permit from the Makah to hike on the trail to see the Cape Flattery Lighthouse.
A view of the Cape Flattery trail.
The beautiful Pacific Ocean, seen from one of the Cape Flattery overlooks.
A look toward toward the Makah Bay and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Some of the birds seen Western Grebes, various Gulls, Harlequin Ducks, Rhinoceros Auklets, Red-necked Grebe, Red-throated Loon, Cormorants and a Bald Eagle with a fish.
While we were in the area we ate lunch at a restaurant called the Warmhouse in Neah Bay. We had eaten here before back in 2015, they have great milkshakes. We also enjoyed watching the Bald Eagles right outside the restaurant windows. On this day there had to be 20-30 bald Eagles both adults and juvies. They put on a show for us while ate our lunch.
Neah Bay Bald Eagles. I think one Juvenile Eagle had a fish which attracted all the other eagles. The juvie eagle held tight onto his fish and was not going to share.
Back at our Ocean Resort and First Beach for the sunset.
"May every sunrise hold more promise and every sunset hold more peace."
My thankful list for today:
I am thankful for good health to hike on trail like the Cape Flattery Trail.
I am thankful for blue skies and lovely weather.
I hope you enjoyed my post and photos. Thanks so much for visiting and for your nice comments. Have a happy day!
Thank you Michelle for hosting. Thankful Thursday

Great place to visit and hike to see all the great views. Beautiful sunset. Have a good day!
That is a beautiful area of the Pacific coast line, and the birds you saw is just amazing.
All the best, Gordon.
Oh I would love to visit Neah Bay and Cape Flattery and walk that trail. Great pics and always love the birds you shared
Wonderful area--Neah Bay. Been there too and out on the Ocean during a storm--not fun. You do have the most wonderful pictures. Of course love the Eagles.

Marvelous photos of a great place. I bet they take great care of it!
Love the trail, LOVE the TREE and that last shot is gorgeous. beautiful island
Looks like a wonderful place to visit, Eileen. Bald Eagles are not uncommon here, but we never see the kind of concentration you show in your pictures. Regardless of how often one sees this species it remain spectacular and to see so many at one time is very special.
Love First Beach! Last time I visited that area, we made as far as Ozette Lake. But I have yet to visit Neah Bay....I'll get there one of these days.
What an amazing number of eagles! Love your pics of your walk, Eileen!
Gorgeous series, Eileen! What a magical place!!!
Amazing place. Awesome pics.
Greetings
The best of all pictures, and the island it stands so fabulous Eileen.
How cool to see all those bald eagles all in one spot.
The photos looking out over the ocean are beautiful, especially the one with the tree.
What a wonderful place it all looks so lovely.. Thanks for sharing..
Amanda xx
ohhhhhhhhhh I really need to spend some time there
gorgeous
Great place and wonderful photos. I love your last sentence.
Greetings from Janneke
Your photos are just stunning of this beautiful area of our state. Dear and I trekked out there for our first time in 2015. Wow...look at all those eagles. So cool. Hope your week is going well!
Oh this is such a beautiful corner of the country. All set with road trip to that part of the world, but I don't think we'll ever get to this spot.
Worth a Thousand Words
Incredible ocean views!
Beautiful scenery for sure..Coastline scenes are my favorite..I just love water..Thanks for sharing..
The bay, the trail, the lighthouse and the beach and such a variety of birds! Thank you for sharing these.
That's a very beautiful area to hike in. The sea is always interesting.
Hello Eileen, beauty, birds, boats (so many cool ones) and those water and shore views are incredible. Interesting trees as well this is a lovely place. And, something that especially caught my eye is- what is that glowing green object in the last photo? Curious minds want to know!
These photos are just gorgeous! Thanks for linking up today! Have a great weekend!
What a cool spot! I checked Google Maps... you really can't go any further NW in the US, can you! Those last two photos are gorgeous.
These were great. I love a forest path. Thank you.
a beautiful day to go on a little excursion with you - lovely post
I would be in 7th heaven with all those eagles!
Spectacular shorelines!
WoW!!! these are really beautiful...picture #1, postcard perfect!!
Just beautiful Eileen. I'd love to take a stroll around here.
Wow! What a completely gorgeous area. Does the tribe easily giver permission to go to the lighthouse? I've never seen that many eagles in one spot before.
Beautiful photos Eileen!
Beeindruckende Natur.
Ein wunderschöner Spaziergang und der Himmel ist so herrlich an zu sehen.
Liebe GrĂĽĂźe
That must have been an amazing place to visit Eileen. I would love to see all those Bald Eagles together like that. Lovely landscape shots too. See you at weekend.
Hello Eileen!:) What a fabulous place to visit. LOVE all the stunning views over the pacific ocean the wooden path and rustic handrails, the 4th picture is just beautiful, and so are the beach scenes at sunset with the tree, oh my goodness, I wanted to be there with you!!:) Besides the scenic beauty you saw all those bald eagles,...how wonderful is that! It would be like a dream come true for me. A fabulous post Eileen,..sorry I'm a bit late in visiting.
what a lovely place to visit and amazing to see all those bald eagles!
FABULOUS!!
Incredible photos Eileen! Love the sunset ones. Thanks for sharing.

Oh wow, what fabulous sights! Your photos are extraordinary Eileen. What an awesome gift to see so many eagles outside your restaurant window. Thank you for sharing and have a great day :)
A very scenic trail,love the second last shot.
Lovely photos and wonderful views on the ocean, Cape Flattery and its trail! Great collage on seabirds and the bald eagles… love the last two along with the quote
What a beautiful place.. love your photos, especially the sunset one.. just gorgeous :o)
Looks like a wonderful place to explore!
Just beautiful photos of the Pacific Ocean! I love the lighthouse photo and the wonderful bald eagles. Looking toward the Makah Bay is a fabulous picture, Eileen! It had to be a wonderful experience. Have a great weekend!
Great idea, Thankful Thursday. Beautiful pictures too, specially the last two. Thank you for sharing.
Incredibly beautiful photos, Eileen! Just breath-taking! How cool to watch the Bald Eagles while eating lunch too. Lovely post. What a great trip this must have been!
I had to comment on something you said on my post...Mt Washington, which is the second highest mountain in Oregon (Mt. Hood being the tallest) is also a volcano, and they haven't studied it much and don't know when it's due to erupt. I can see the very tip top of it from my front porch! Most of the Cascade Range are volcanoes. It doesn't leave one with much confidence! :-) And going down into Deschutes Canyon would be a big mistake...heading east would be our only hope! :-)
Gorgous captures.
Sounds like my kind of place but I bet up there the ocean is too cold to swim or wade in? So many birds and eagles right outside the restaurant, wow. I adore the shot looking toward Makah Bay and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
The Pacific NW . . . Washington, Oregon . . . on up. . . .
Way up on the bucket list . . .
It is such an amazing place! Thank you for your beautiful photos.
Gorgeous photography of the West Coast ~ just divine ~ thanks, ^_^
You visit the most spectacular of places Eileen and I love your photos of your trip.
Have a wonderful weekend :)
Absolutely stunning photos. Your love of nature shows through in every shot.
wow, that was something special. Loved the look of the island and the beaches. Not to mention the birds :)
What a wonderful vacation you've had, Eileen. The photos are just remarkable -- all those fabulous birds and loads of my favorite color, blue! Did you hate to head home?
