With each osprey I have seen of late, I say: this has to be the last one of the year. Yet, today I saw another. Mind you, it was sitting in the rain under low skies which would have prevented its departure for the last week. Thursday is forecast to be somewhat better; maybe it will finally get on its way.
In contrast to the osprey, the eagle I saw earlier in the day is likely here for the long haul—eagles live here year round.
This October 11th osprey on the West Arm of Kootenay Lake will surely migrate as soon as the clouds rise.
This eagle at Grohman Narrows will likely stay with us through the winter.
