The Browns Point Treasure Hunt: EAGLES!

The Navigators and their friends, the Treasure Seekers, went on a final Treasure Hunt of the Year. We were on the lookout for things that related to the "treasures" we have learned about this year. 

We walked about one mile from our school and saw these geological treasures: the snow-capped Olympic mountains, Vashon Island, and Puget Sound. 

We saw the flora and the fauna of the area
 including several types of maple trees and helicopter seeds.


And then we were instructed to look to the right and to the left 
and up and down. 
And then we saw it! An eagle's nest. 

And just as we saw it, an adult eagle flew in and fed the eaglet!

Here are more spectacular pictures taken by Ms Moon, the Treasure Seekers' teacher:






 

 What a treasure it was, to see the eagles that daily fly over our playground,

especially since we have been watching the Decorah, Iowa eagles since March!

We're so glad the eagles are back and that we get to see them.

They are a treasure indeed!
