9:00 am feeding
It was -12 degrees and sunny as I arrived at the site. I distributed 1 bucket of large chickens. The eagles came down in less than five minutes - about 35 in number. As it was yesterday, there was no great aerial display as the eagles came to ground almost immediately. The good ground action was seen by about 30 spectators. 11:00 am feeding It was still sunny when I arrived and the temperature had risen to -6 degrees. The place was crowded with an estimated 80+ spectators, biggest so far this season. I distributed one bucket of medium to large chickens and a bucket of chicks. I had no sooner picked up the second empty bucket when the eagles flew in and continued to come, one flying over my car as I drove away. It was amazing. There were in the region of 100 eagles, the most I have seen in at least two years. Both the aerial display and the ground action were fantastic. It was all over in about 25 minutes but was an excellent advertisement. I'm sure everyone who came enjoyed the show.
