North Country explorer from
Kayaking through Fish Creek yesterday I saw movement along the shore, which at first I thought was someone pulling their kayak onto a carry over. At second glance, I realized that this was a Bald Eagle pulling apart a fish for lunch. I approached it slowly and tried to snap a few quick pictures but didn't want to disturb it. My guess is that this was a young eagle who had just matured because the head wasn't entirely white yet. You can still see a little brown streak along the side.
