Early bird gets the worm. Early morning fishing.
Once again thank you very much for visits, favorite and comments. It's much appreciated.
Boat dock of the old ferry between the islands of South Beveland, North Beveland and Schouwen-Duiveland. The company Provincial Services in Steamboat Zeeland (PSD) stopped the ferry service in 1965.

Time hasn't been kind to boat or dock at Port Sonoma.
The grove of trees in the distance is where I met this owl. (Link).

Another picture of the bald eagle with the American Flag. A different angle here. Check out my previous picture if you have not done so already. The flag is blowing in the wind in that picture. This has been a dream shot of my and it finally came true.
It has been a dream of mine to get a photo of bald eagle next to the American flag. Today that dream came true. The bald eagle is America's national bird and is a symbol of strength and freedom.
This is where the recreational fun begins..... the tidal Pitt River meets the mouth of Pitt Lake. Accessible by boat alone, head straight towards the mountains, turn left and a whole world of nature opens up to the beauty of scenic Pitt Lake.

Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. About 53.5 square kilometres in area, it is about 25 km long and about 4.5 km wide at its widest. It is one of the world's relatively few tidal lakes, and among the largest. In Pitt Lake, there is on average a three foot tide range; thus Pitt Lake is separated from sea level and tidal waters during most hours of each day during the 15 foot tide cycle of the Pitt River and Strait of Georgia estuary immediately downstream.The lake's southern tip is 20 km upstream from The Pitt River confluence with the Fraser River and is 40 km east of Downtown Vancouver.
Pitt Lake is in a typical U-shaped glacial valley in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains. The overdeepening of the lower end of the valley over the span of the Wisconsin glaciation created a trough over 140 m below current sea level. After initial glacial retreat at around 13,000 years ago a saltwater fjord occupied this basin when relative sea levels were still ca 120 to 140m above current levels in the region. Unlike neighbouring Indian Arm and Howe Sound farther west, this fjord basin became partly cut off from tidal waters by sedimentation of the lower Fraser River ca 10,500 years ago, and Pitt Lake is now considered a tidal fjord lake.
Pitt Lake is the second largest of a series of north-south oriented fjord-lakes incising the southern slopes of the Pacific Ranges, the largest being Harrison Lake located 60 km to the east. The other fjord-lakes include Coquitlam Lake, Alouette Lake, Stave Lake, and Chehalis Lake.
The Pitt River drains into the northern end of Pitt Lake. The western shore of Pitt Lake are protected within Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, while most of the eastern shore are protected within Golden Ears Provincial Park. The southern end of Pitt Lake features an extensive marshland called Pitt Polder. While most of this marshland has since been drained for agricultural use, the northernmost portion is strictly protected in order to provide critical habitat for migratory birds.
Communities
The community of Pitt Meadows and the First Nations reserve of Pitt Lake Indian Reserve 5 are located at the southern end of the lake. Just southwest of the lake is the community of Port Coquitlam, which is across the Pitt River from Pitt Meadows. At the north end of the lake is a locality named Alvin, which is a transport and shipping point for logging companies and their employees.

*Working Towards a Better World
Birds are free and so are we and we should be thankful for every bit of freedom we have. No living creature should be caged they all have the right to go where they want, when they want, how they want and with whom they want. As long as they obey the rules of sharing, caring, tolerating, reaching out and accepting diversity. Let's start living for freedom for EVERYONE and EVERY BEING!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
