While water skiing yesterday a huge bald eagle swooped down and attempted to catch a fish in the lake. It wasn't any luckier than Bill as far as the fishing went and came up with empty talons. We watched it soar through the sky and land on the branch of a very tall white pine tree. We zoomed back to our camp and picked up a pair of binoculars so that we could check out the eagle a little more closely. We were able to watch it take flight one more time. Quite a sight to see. As it left the lake the resident loons became a bit angry and sounded off with a new intensity. Shortly after that we came upon a new beaver lodge. No beavers in sight however. Back at camp while roasting marshmallows over the fire mama duck and her babies, who are getting bigger every day, stopped by for a visit. The babies are quite brave now and waddle right up on shore. Mama duck was squawking at them nonstop. Not sure what she said but they never got out of the water. What a great day out at camp.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone Wednesday morning at the Open House. I've found a really cute book and have a yummy treat to share.
