Matt's parents came out for a visit after Christmas, and we decided to go to Coeur d'Alene lake and take the eagle cruise. This is supposed to be the peak of the bald eagle migration, but the numbers had recently dwindled quite a bit. We did see several eagles though, and enjoyed the gorgeous scenery.
I got to wear my "happy hat" for the first time (good investment - it has ear-flaps to protect from an ear ache!).
The scenery was absolutely fabulous! It really didn't snow while we were out, although we saw a few tiny flurries, but it was really cold! The boat was fairly jammed, so we spent most of our time out on the deck, even though it took a half an hour to get to where the birds were.
My new camera doesn't take my old Cannon telephoto lens, so I am currently without zoom. I did get a couple pictures of mature eagles with white heads which you can barely see if you look closely (note arrow).
The lights on the boardwalk are really neat at the resort. Matt's dad took this picture.
