Keeping an Eye on the Forecast

Plans for a Fall Eagle Trip now in the works…keeping an eye on the forecast is the important part of the trip.
Conditions can change quickly the farther North you travel up along Lake Winnipeg.

I had the opportunity to witness one of the Lake Winnipeg snow squalls in 2020 that produced near White Out conditions. Didn’t seem to bother the Eagles…but I was certainly glad I had 4-wheel drive.

That’s when I pulled the plug and decided perhaps the best option would be to head South and home.
Twenty-five kilometers South of the White Out I was seeing the sunshine, blue skies and dry roads…definitely one of the strangest days ever.

Here’s hoping for some sunshine up North…time will tell.

Returning Critters

Here we are coming up on the middle of October…what could be just around the corner ?

During the next 2-3 weeks there will be trips up along Lake Winnipeg in search of Eagle that will be collecting for pre-migration.
This happens every year and the Eagles know the Hot Spots for an easy meal…all thanks to the Commercial Fishermen.

As October draws to an end…sightings of the First returning Snowy Owl could be possible like this one last year found Oct 28th.

I’m sure this owl put in a Special Appearance just for a photographer friend visiting from Montreal…I think she was pretty excited to photograph the Eagles and a Snowy in late October.

It’s always nice when things fall into place and the stars align.
