This Sunday morning hike would be a continuation of Saturday. Only two adult eagles flying overhead in the two and a half mile shoreline hike. Otters were plentiful with three playing in a shallow cove on the ice. A short distance later I found where an immature bald eagle did not fare too well. Looking at all the feathers would suggest this was its last stand. Continuing along the shoreline a single otter was pretty inquisitive of me and quite vocal. Leaving the water’s edge I picked up a road back to the truck. I did see a number of coyote scat and one bear scat. A little late for the bear to be out and about. Probably has found some type of food source to keep it active.

Two otters playing without a care in the world

 Eagle feathers. One can only guess as to the cause. Clearly larger bones than just the bird. Maybe the eagle was feeding on a deer ( guess) and a coyote challenged the eagle?

 This single otter was clarely taken with the fact I was standing near the cove it wanted to enter.
