Lots of snow, then a melt, followed by a hard freeze makes for the perfect back woods swamp skiing adventure. Lots of interesting tracks! I am on on hunt to see a Pine Marten or Fisher in my neck of the woods.
I rounded a pennisula and scared an eagle up,
Not more than 20 yards from me. It circled several times and never left the region. I figured it was either at a feeding site, or considering nesting. The region in which I scared it up previously had the nest ther. It blew down in a bug windstorm 10 years ago.
I didn't see my elusive prey, but an eagle, beaver lodge, oposum, and many rodent tracks kept it interesting.
