My internal alarm clock went off early yesterday, you don’t want to know how early. Starting with some coffee…then there was lunch to make and gear to pack while most still sound asleep.

The forecast was positive and this day would be my last visit North up along the shores of Lake Winnipeg for Eagles.

Up until now I’ve shared a couple perched Eagle shots which are fun to see and photograph…but perhaps time for some action as the snow let up.

One of life’s little pleasures is sharing with others that may not have the opportunity to see Eagles up-close and personal in the wild.

Another trip up along the shores of Lake Winnipeg. The day was a mixed bag of conditions…dull and overcast cloud cover with the odd sunny break then darker clouds and snow as I traveled farther North.
The snow heavy at times proved to be a challenge with the camera wanting to focus on the snowflakes rather than the birds…grrrr !
Never the less an enjoyable day but glad I have a 4×4 as the road become somewhat slippery.

October is Pre Winter Owl Season but first need to make the annual trips in search of Eagles up along the shores of Lake Winnipeg. This time of year Eagles are collecting before they begin to migrate with large groups often seen together.
I opted to check some new territory with high hopes of some rewards.

Eagles being scavengers and often search out an easy meal…like a fish dump site that commercial fishermen use to discard fish remains.
If one can stand the smell these locations may produce the rewards I was after.

So the morning started at 4:30 am and after loading up the gear and packing lunch/snacks I was on the road headed North on my Eagle quest.
The new territory paid off and I soon ran out of fingers and toes and lost count…at the end of the day I figure I had seen over 150 plus Eagles.
