A Day for Eagles

I started my day by going to Two Sisters Bakery for my Friday fix of Chocolate Bread. I am limiting myself to once per week, it is really hard to do as they are so good.

I spotted an eagle soaring over Bishop’s Beach, I took my chocolate bread down there and ate it. The eagle had left so I drove out to the Spit.

My first stop did not prove fruitful, so I headed to the my second spot. I found a couple of eagles and watched them, when they got close enough I was able to get some good shots. As I drove to the end of the Spit I encountered an eagle sitting in a puddle and captured a few shots of it.

It was very cloudy with bouts of snow flurries and gusts of wind. It was cold so I went to “Vida” a Thai restaurant and ordered some Mongolian Beef to take home for lunch. It will also be my dinner.

Tide Pool Survey

Went out to the Homer Spit for the low tide survey. Joined a group of people and we had two biologists to guide us. Although, it was snowing we had good time.
