both adult eagles, one took a fish, the other followed to a tree.

row red the birds slept in. i try to get to the lake a half hour before dawn, which is civil twilight which is when one can see the path to the water. that lets me row out and back one time before the sunrise, which is blinding over the water on the return leg of the row. on the second circuit i change my usual course. other problem is that since the dawn is later, i wind up driving back as the school buses are picking the kids up. get behind one and a 20 minute drive turns into a 40 minute drive. so i will start going out later, which means that i'll miss the sunrise.
