#Bald eagles

Two bald eagles were soaring above the lake for a little while. When you hear the sound they make (the short but kind of melodious tweets while they’re near each other) you’ll understand why movie makers often substitute the sound of a red-tailed hawk for it.

It’s herring spawn time, one of the most amazing times to see all sorts of coastal wildlife here. Everyone gathers at the same time to enjoy the feast!

can almost guarantee that eagles nested there prior to colonialism but i suppose the point is that eagles are nesting there AGAIN because the environment has improved so much (from colonialism of the land and general environmental destruction/degradation) but this ultimately reminds me that Canada is stolen land.

9 August 2024 - Friday Field Notes

These were from a few weeks ago. Took my big camera to work since I knew I was gonna be working late. Not that fun carrying a 5lb camera around your neck in 90°F + heat, but it was fun to practice. Last photo is horribly backlit, wasn't marching out in the grass to get better lighting though, but there are four Bald Eagles in that tree. The two adults in the middle on the two juveniles on the sides.

Stumbled upon this dead Rattlesnake and these Margined Burying Beetles chowing down on it.

Played peek a boo with this Squirrel. That Mouse came right up to the front door which was the funniest thing. Sorry, little man. The nature center was closed that day and you can't come in.

Hi, ma'am. I appreciate the offer but, I'll pass on the Aphid. You can eat it. After finishing her meal, this curious little Jumping Spider then proceeded to climb over me multiple times. Had to move her to another chair because I didn't want to squish her.

Also, my first time in a Buc-ees. Absolutely fucking wild experience. It's like walking into a CostCo except it's a gas station. I'd give the restrooms a 10/10 for cleanliness though. I've been in some sketchy gas station restrooms but these ones were super bougie.
