Ah what the heck. some of my other photos won't load. I lost my pics from my '04 trip. Those had lots of flora fauna. Anyway a bald eagle on lake four. The eagle took off seconds later you could hear the wings flap it was magical.

Ever see a "cow slip" under a fence. Enclosed photo of it's other name "marsh marigold."
It's an early bloomer, mid to late May. I haven't tried them, but Sparky Stensaas recommends cooking up marsh marigold greens, boiling them for 20 to 30 minutes with two to three water changes, to go along with your walleye fillets; but cautions not to eat them raw due to natural acrid poison. M. Stensaas, p. 81, Canoe Country Flora, 1996

Mushrooms at our campsite along the Isabella River 2006
I'm not sure how long these mushrooms had been growing on the tree, but within a half hour of taking the picture a couple squirrels ran up and down the tree and there was nothing left of them. Perhaps I should have taken a before and after picture!

pilot1: Beautiful and amazing photo!! My guess is that You have a raven I your picture with the eagles. A good way to tell is by the diamond shaped tail vs a crow has a fan-shaped. :)

It's usually the eagles stealing food from other birds. They will gladly take a catch from an osprey. I think that was why Ben Franklin didn't want to have the eagle representing our country as a national symbol and preferred the wild turkey instead.

Mr. Franklin called the bald eagle a bird "of bad moral character (that) does not get his living honestly." Sounds like some of our politicians. LOL!
