Bucket List Shot! A REAL BALD EAGLE!!!
Hi everyone! We're having a wonderful time on Vancouver Island! We've seen so many breathtaking sights and lots of "firsts" too. One of my dreams has always been to see a real-live bald eagle and since we've been here, Steve and I have seen at least five of them! In fact, we know what they sound like, isn't that something?!
We have been staying at a number of places along the eastern coast of the island (only the lower half on the west shore has been developed) and the last place we visited was the furthest north, just south of Port Hardy at a First Nation campground called Cluxewe Resort.
While we were there, we learned that a clutch of Bald Eagle chicks are raised in a nest visible from the campground, but unfortunately the chicks had already grown and flown away. However, I was still in luck! There is a specific tree that is a favorite watching spot for one of the eagles. It happens to be a two-minute walk from our trailer, and as luck would have it, I had my Sony zoom camera with me when the eagle was there! HOORAY!!!
This picture is a total "bucket list" shot for me. On this trip we have seen a bald eagle here and there, flying overhead and landing on posts that are too far to photograph ("See that little dot? IT'S A BALD EAGLE, HONEST!!!"). I really would have been fine without a nice picture because we've seen them many times now, but having this picture has totally made my day!!
I hope that all of you are doing well! It's a shame that I have no internet most of the time, and in fact, just getting this picture posted took FOREVER. I tried to post it three times last night without success, but finally today I have been able to post it.
Pam, I hoped to upload that video I told you about…whatever was I thinking?! HAHAHAHAH…it will just have to wait until we have a better connection.
You guys are all on my mind--I wish I could teleport everyone here to enjoy this spectacular place. It really is incredible and gives me a glimpse of what unspoiled splendor of nature actually looks like!

Complimenten...........Frans.
I'm so glad that you and Steve are having such a good time, but I miss your daily posts. I'm really looking forward to seeing some more when you get back. I'm just guessing, but I suspect you may have taken at least a dozen or so photos by now :-)))
Take care and stay safe!
have a lovely WE !
looking forward to more photos from your trip.
But I guess he's got you in his sights. :)
Greetz, Christien.
I really like this picture, and I am so pleased for you!
Many years ago (pre-digital age) I visited Vancouver, and as I was driving along the coast road, just north of the city, I saw a collection of guys standing at the roadside with cameras. The subject of interest was a bald eagle!!
Best Wishes, and a good weekend
Peter
