Book excerpt: The famous San Juan Islands of Washington State, a prime touring location for hikers, bikers, beach walkers and boaters from all over the country, are also distinctive, fascinating bird-watching areas. The islands are home to one of the largest concentrations of breeding and wintering bald eagles in the world. The vast majority of breeding seabirds in Puget Sound nest within the San Juans or nearby rain shadow islands. Loons, auklets, cormorants and murrelets are regularly spotted by visitors to the islands' shores.
