Hi All
Today was another white fish lake survey.
At the start of the paddle we saw an eagle on a rock
feeding on something. As we didn't want to interpert
breakfast, we paddle a distance away.
On the way back, we again passed the rock. This time
the eagle - it was a mature eagle was on a tree, also
an immature eagle. Prehaps even this years young as it
was extremely dark and not a great flyer. They flew
off a distance.
We went over to find they were eating a cormorant.
only a few feathers and some well cleaned bones were
left on the rock. I saved the skull should anyone want
it - let me know.
Later as we passed another cove - we saw some
disturbance in the water. It was a cormorant again
trying to swallow a fish. The fish was between 25 - 30
cms and it was difficult to determine the variety.
White belly and dark top fits the description of a
sucker. The fish didn't go willing into that dark hole
but in the end disappeared. The cormorant finished of
its meal as it always does with a large drink of
water.
An interesting day.
EWnjoy the late summer
Paul
