| Eagle poop on the North Sister - some fish bones but mostly plastics from the dump |
The last few days I took a friend's nephew downhill skiing. The skiing was not very good, but we did have some adventures. Up high on Pyramid was all ice and wind pack. In the south bowl we did find some corned up snow on the steep south-facing slopes. But where ever the slope flattened out the snow was still rock hard.
On another day we tried climbing the North Sister, and discovered that where there is no snow there is still ice under the grass. Slippery! But it was an adventure and we saw a herd of mountain goats. We also got into some serious bushwhacking.
Another cool discovery was an eagle poop - clearly the eagle has been hanging out at the nearby dump. Our National Symbol a dump scavenger, but if you look closely you can see that Mr or Mrs eagle still did eat at least some fish. I'm not sure if there is a moral to this story, but it seems like there should be one. Patrick
