Bitterroot

Several years ago we discovered a spot on Steamboat Rock where we could look down on a bald eagle's nest. There were two babies in the nest and so we had an enjoyable lunch spot to enjoy the coming and going of the parents! We did not observe the babies being fed this time, but there was a fish in the nest. After wandering for a few hours on the rock, taking bitterroot (spelled it right this time!)pictures we returned later in the afternoon to again enjoy watching the activity in the nest! There weren't as many flowers as we see early in spring, but the bitterroot were everywhere! You had to walk carefully to not step on them!
