Middle of Sept I indicated that I was looking forward to a mid-October Eagle Run up on Lake Winnipeg.
The timing was perfect for a photographer friend visiting from Montreal and she was excited to join me to make the Eagle Run.
Eagles being scavengers they tend collect near and around the fish dumps at this time of year where the commercial fishermen discard remains.
Apparently the commercial fishing has now been extended an extra week due to low volumes of fish being taken.
This was evident upon our arrival…still I was confident that things would change from what we witnessed and only needed a couple hours.
Bottom line is…sometimes you go with your gut feeling and reap the rewards. After a very long road trip out-n-about we probably seen 100-125 Eagles…with some up-close encounters.
