I went to one of my favorite paddling spots today. First time this season. The river and the lake it feeds are very low right now, but it was a nice paddle anyway.

This big beauty decided to hang out on the shoreline and keep watch.

He was gorgeous.

And in no hurry. He was still there over an hour later when I came back down the river!

This is the river I was paddling, the M'Clintock. It drains into Marsh Lake.

All part of one of North America's major watersheds, the Yukon River.

Eagles are gorgeous. It is beyond me why Benjamin Franklin favored the frickin' TURKEY as our national bird over something as beautiful and majestic as an eagle.

Great pics, Glacier. Thanks for sharing.

Those are wonderful. There's an eagle at my parent's condo. He was very handsome. But, I never had a camera that could get a good photo of him. One day I'll either be close enough or have a good enough camera! But, for now, I'll just come look at these pictures! ;) I want to come kayaking with you! That makes me so homesick (because I had a kayak back in SC). Post as many scenery pictures as you can! :)

Glacier, I am moving in with you. Surely hope you and your family will be happy to see me and my pets at your doorstep(s).

Do you have a spare room?

See you soon.

Wow!!! How awesome to see a Balde Eagle in the wild. I've only seen them in zoos.

Do you ever take any of the dogs with you when you go paddling?

No, none of them really like to swim and they could get into a whole lot of trouble running along the shore. Occasionally if I'm just going to a quarry to practice rolling and self-rescue, I'll take Kayleigh with me.

Wow great pictures!! We had an eagle nest in our yard a few years back, and they are just break taking creatures!
