An early start, beautiful light and only eagles to show for it.
We went out for the sunrise with hopes to find the mother and cubs that have been spotted but the morning showed nothing but eagles. The light however was amazing and the landscapes here as always are a joy to look at regardless of any wildlife (or lack thereof) in it.
The afternoon started to prove fruitful with a lone bear in the marsh. Unfortunately it was in the town limits and it didn’t take long for it to be picked up by conservation and removed from the area.
Later on however we finally got across the river. Late afternoon sun and a mother and cub gave a little taste of what will hopefully be good days to come. The bugs were out in abundance and these two lay down in the willows and fireweed for some relief before the mum dug a shallow day bed to likely tuck in for the night.
On the other side we found a large bear feeding on something, but unfortunately due to the angle we couldn’t quite see what.
I’m hoping tomorrow will give us a full day of action.
