Due to the other commitments, appointments and unfavorable weather conditions I’ve only had one memorable day with the Eagles up on the Big Lake. With many to be seen not all were worth photographing due to branches, backlighting or being skittish.
It’s always a delight when you come across one where everything falls into place…then you just simply sit and wait for things to unfold.
I was pretty sure that this Eagle would provide some action…to be continued.
The forecast sounded positive with sunny skies and warm temps…everything fell into place.
My internal clock woke me at oh so dark 5:00 am…then morning coffee, packing lunch and snacks and camera gear at the back door.
While most others would still be sleeping I was on the road headed North up along the shores of Lake Winnipeg in my quest for Fall Eagles.
There’s never any guarantees when it comes to Mother Nature…but I had a good feeling that there would be some rewards at the end of the day.
Sometimes it pays off when you decide to check out a bush trail that leads to who knows where. Remember thinking…will I be able to turn around or will I have to back all the way out.
The trail was in better shape than I thought but likely one you wouldn’t want to be trying in wet weather.
Going with the gut feeling to try the trail paid off…appeared a hand full of Eagles also liked this spot.
Uncertain what day of the week it was but must have been a Twofer Tuesday…Bonus to have them on a low perch.
