Nice Black Friday Hike !

It was a nice day hiking yesterday. The plan was to try and put eight miles on the ole" hiking boots. It didn't take long before I became distracted .Its the first bear track I've found this year
A short time later I came upon a pile of immature eagle feathers.Given the volume of feathers I would guess the eagle didn't make it. I spent considerable amount of time trying to find a leg band.
While looking for a leg band I stumbled a across what appeared to be pieces of a fawn skeleton.
Given its location it would not of been accessible in May or June with the high water levels we had last spring. Only a guess on my part , I think an eagle may have preyed on this fawn.
