Today started with lows in the low 40's! We were all glad we managed to fit some warm clothes into our packs as we were wearing them all. The day was bright and clear, but the wind was still driving through the area 10 to 15 mph. We were determined to spend this day in a fishing/exploration effort. We weren't looking to eat fish so we practiced catch & release and fortunately had the opportunity to do it often. We noticed an eagle's nest off in the distance and decided to paddle over a get a closer look. Off the waters edge about 100 yards atop a burned out/dead pine tree was a very large eagle's nest calling out to us. We decided to venture nearer to it by land as the area around it had been burned off some time ago and made commuting through the young forest more manageable. With a pair of eagles watching in the distance we made our way through the overgrowth to the base of the tree. We found lots of bones of previous meals scattered around the base of the tree including fish, turtle shells, and large vertebrae that looked like a larger than cat-sized animal. This proved to be and interesting adventure and close to our day.
