The immature Bald Eagle flew down to the beach after the World's Coolest Bear left some salmon scraps on a good fishing day. Before long, the crows arrived. They were able to steal a few morsels, although they'd scatter when the eagle shifted position, especially with its wings outspread. This did not appear to be an aggressive move by the eagle, but rather a balancing act.
Meanwhile, the rain came down in a fine mist: we were damp but comfortable in our rain gear - except for Paul who was bone dry under his umbrella - and the sound of shutters filled the air. The salmon ran, the bears gave chase, and everyone with feathers wanted a piece of the action.
