9:00 am feeding

It was -14, sunny with a few clouds.  Some of the Quebec visitors have returned home via the Gaspe  peninsula but four remain.  I distributed two buckets of medium and large chicken with the help of two of them.

Two eagles came down quite quickly but the numbers took a while to build.  In the end there were forty or so eagles on the ground and in the trees.  Not much of a flying display, no doubt influenced by the size of the chickens.

11:00 am  feeding

The temperature had risen to minus 8 but the wind had picked up so felt just as cold.  The sun was still shining.  I distributed one bucket of medium and small chicken and one bucket of large.  After 10 minutes there was still no action so I went off on a couple of errands.  I returned forty minutes later and the show was already over.  Thirty eagles were reported on the ground at one time with at least 10 more in the trees.
