One day to go…..

One day to go to Eagle Festival ~ and we have snow!

not a lot of snow ~ just enough to ‘frost’ everything…

and create scenes like this with the Bald Eagles….

here is a closer look at those two….

kind of bitter looking!  A word to the wise to anyone planning on coming out to the Eagle Festival this weekend ~ dress warmly!  It is really cold down by the water as there is an outflow wind…hats, scarves and gloves are essential.

 

another snowy ‘eagle’ shot…

here is that one ~ close up.

there was a bit of a ‘feeding frenzy’ going on in this spot with a couple of North Western Crows as well as eagles.

a few Killdeer around as well….

come mid-day there were less eagles out on the flats – no wonder – it was COLD…

lots of ducks, most huddled close to shorelines and a few Trumpeter Swans off of the log bay area….

here is a bit closer look at a pair of Trumpeters….the rest of them were all having a mid-day nap further out.

They are predicting some snow flurries for tonight and then clear and cold for the weekend….I hope they are right….I have a boat ride planned for the morning!
