August 4, 2017, Friday — Khutze —

I got an earlier start this morning and was rewarded with beautiful lighting.  I was able to capture the surreal effect created in this little cove, where the morning sun was filtered through trees.

The sun spotlighted this immature eagle.

Just outside the cove I spotted this Kingfisher partaking of a little breakfast delight.

This young eagle was looking for a meal also, but pickings are pretty slim this year.  It seems to be a terrible year for salmon, and this hot spell isn’t helping matters.  We need some rain.

This is just one of the many little waterfalls in this inlet.

A Loon finally hung around long enough for me to get his picture.

On my way back to the boat, this little Murrelet popped up right in front of me.
