The Eagle Returns

We were all sitting having pancakes the other morning when one of us spotted an eagle standing down near the river. Seeing eagles is not a huge surprise to us but they are always wonderful to watch. The salmon starting running up the river about a week ago so the eagle was probably waiting for a catch. A moment or two later another eagle joined it's friend by the river and the first sat down. This is the photo that I took as I was slowly making my way down to the river and then the second photo was taken quite close to the eagles.

A couple of days before we saw a black bear wander slowly through the garden twice!! Our guess is that it was trying to get to the river but there was a fence in the way so it walked back through the garden to find another route. Unfortuntely I didn't get a photo because I was so stunned that we saw a bear walking through the garden the first time and the second time it walked through I was just not expecting it!

I will never get enough of the nature that can be seen out of the windows.
