Just before the storm I was skate skiing on Lake Catherine with Stuey and Bodi (Red was with Nora) and there was an eagle perched in a willow tree. We were doing loops around the lake and he/she just sat and watched. The eagle was perched above where a creek runs into the lake and it is a good place for spawning salmon. The eagle was probably hoping for something to eat.
On about the 4rth lap past the eagle Bodi and I went a little closer. She was not perturbed at all and just looked at us. Bodi looking at the eagle reminded me of the Aesop Fable where the fox steals the crow's cheese. Except in our case the eagle couldn't be bothered to talk to us - the only movement was a turn of the head.
And so we left her there and chased off after Stuey who had gotten ahead on the lap. On the next lap when we passed by again she was still there - watching us.
