Early Morning Out-n-About

Early mornings at the summer place begins with brewing a pot of coffee…after having the first cup to clear the cobwebs it’s time to hit the road.
Travel mug of coffee and the morning rounds begin. First interesting encounter being an Bald Eagle on a commonly used perch that overlooks a small bay on Lake Winnipeg.

Most likely perched looking for a morning meal.

Here again using the truck as a blind and my presence didn’t seem to concern him/her.
At this close distance remaining in the truck is the best option rather than getting out.

You know it’s going to be a good day when you get too spend some time with one of these Majestic Birds.

Thoughts of Returning Birds

Birds are beginning to return and thoughts of Osprey come to mind. Not only was this bird a good mother she was also a comedian.
Appears she enjoyed to do her impression of a Flamingo and just had to show me on one of my visits last year.

Once the lakes and ponds are free of ice…checks will be made even here in the city.
