It was another interesting day, mild but with a bite still in the wind.  The 9:30 feeding went off as planned with four buckets being fed.  The action began as I left the field with eagles going straight to the ground to feed.  There were numerous eagles - I counted about 50 - so there was a decent flying display but the main action was on the ground. 

We also received a tremendous bonus as a coyote appeared on the flats in front of the trees along Bains Road.  He/she darted into the woods a couple of times but emerged to take a chicken dropped by an eagle.  He/she then moved into the field before being frightened off by a car starting. 

Some good photos were taken which show a ring around the neck reminiscent of dried blood.  Could this animal have been caught in a snare?  In any event I know that some people like to walk down the tree lines and into the woods searching for eagle feathers.  I urge you not to do this alone now that the coyote presence has been confirmed. 

Buoyed by the first feeding I returned for a second at about 11:20.  The available chicken was of a smaller variety so most of the action was in the air and the taking of food on the wing.  There was a small ground display but nothing like the earlier session.   

We had visitors - two footed this time!  Two gentlemen from Quebec City added us to their itinerary for a trip to PEI and a lady from Alabama has moved to the area recently so she still carries the 'bama plates on her car.  Also present were member of a home schooling group who plan a bigger visit at the end of the month.

We're going with the same 9:30 and 11:30ish times tomorrow.  Be early for the second if you can.
