Once again we were blessed with blue skies for our eagle photography. We arrived about 45 minutes before the start of feeding and got our cameras ready and found a spot to stand. We stand along a fence that borders the yard by Jean Keene's home. The eagles will land on the fence or sit just below the fence waiting for a fish to be thrown their way. The weather was once again cold, but there was no wind. There seemed to be more eagles just flying around the area as they were being fed. Perhaps the sunny skies and lack of wind made flying more fun for the birds.
After the feeding was over, we returned to the cabin to get some lunch and download the pictures
. After lunch we and the Zirkles headed off to the Bear Creek Winery for some wine tasting. The young lady, Sarah, working at the winery was very personable and we had fun tasting the various wines. Sarah had just finish a graduate degree from Rutgers in Newark, New Jersey, and decided to come live in Alaska for a while. She needed to get out of the city. Grapes do not grow well in Alaska, so many of their wines are made from berries, such as blueberry, strawberry and raspberry. When we left the winery we rode out to the end of East End Road and viewed the beautiful snow covered mountains along Kachemak Bay.
When we arrived back at the cabins for dinner, the magpies were flying noisily overhead. Perhaps they were unhappy with the gray jays.
