This week we've been having spectacularly low tides, and as a result of that extra exposure of rock all sorts of animals have come calling. Joe, Tom and I paddled out of Roche Harbor for a 3 hour tour and we were soon rewarded with wildlife sightings! Not only did we see a few raccoons turning over rocks and hunting crabs, but a fox as well! We were able to quietly slip by along the shore as they went about their business of catching a meal.
The absolute highlight of the trip was what we saw as we rounded the north side of Henry Isle. All of the sudden a Bald Eagle swooped really low to the water right in front of us! We looked eagerly to see it's intended prey but instead of fish we saw some brown heads bobbing along the surface. Joe correctly identified them as river otters and we watched as the otters swam away unscathed while the eagle glared from the shore. It would have to try it's luck elsewhere...
