The weather forecast for today was for rain/snow which was to be heavy at times. We had had some really good days photographing the eagles and thought that with the predicted weather we might not go down on the spit. It had not started raining when we headed out, so we made our way down to the spit to see what it was like there. I was the only one who took the big lenses just in case. This was to be our last day in the yard, but we decided, since we might not stay the whole time, to stand by the condos. I was able to get some decent photos even though the sky was battleship gray and light was at a minimum. We did end up staying for the entire feeding.
After we left the spit, we spent the afternoon at the Hopped Up Espresso getting our internet fix and watching the rain fall . This little coffee shop was a great place to get a cup of coffee and bagel, and surf the web. The folks working there were friendly and we saw a great cross-section of Homer as patrons came and went.
From there we moved on to the Caribou Family Restaurant for dinner.
Tomorrow will be our last chance to see these majestic birds in large numbers in such a small place. It is overwhelming to see so many white heads and tails in one place, each fighting for that fish that has headed its way. This opportunity will soon be gone forever and we are fortunate that we were able to make the trip.
