I started my day off early at Starbucks and then spent the rest of it in the woods stalking wildlife. First I visited my Barred Owl friends and spent about a couple hours with them. Then I visited to Bald Eagle nest. The eagles were soaring up high today and did not land while I was there. this was the best shot I could get. I did enjoy watching them soar on the thermals.
“Eagles: When they walk, they stumble. They are not what one would call graceful. They were not designed to walk. They fly. And when they fly, oh, how they fly, so free, so graceful. They see from the sky what we never see.”
Before crossing the border back into the states we stopped at Boundary Bay in hopeful attempt to see some snow owls before they made their migration back to the Artic. We were a little late in the season and were not lucky enough to see any stragglers, but we did see lots of water fowl. Mostly familiar birds but we did see a new species of Duck called the American Wigeon and of course a juvenile Bald Eagle.
