Eagle Trip up Lake Winnipeg

As previously mentioned in the last communication…keeping an eye on the weather was important. For those of you who don’t live in Winnipeg/Manitoba…we’ve been hit with I think both a Colorado Low & a Alberta Clipper at the same time over the last 24 hours.
We now have Winter Wonderland here…welcome to Winterpeg.

Anyway…Tuesday had been the Eagle Trip North…with ideal conditions.

Frist Eagle encounter was a few kilometers North of Gimli. Eagles are scavengers by nature…finding two along with Crows and Ravens picking over some recent road kill along the highway isn’t uncommon.
Perhaps this was a sign of good things to come as we traveled farther North up to Lake Winnipeg.

I think with this snowfall the window is now closed for any more trips North for Eagles…just sayin !
