Because we were leaving this morning for Spiller Inlet, I was up at 0500 hrs, hoping to get one more paddle in. I paddled for over 2 hours and never got one shot, until I got back to the boat, where I found this eagle waiting for me.

We’ve really enjoyed the hummingbirds here at Nash. There have been three that visited our feeder almost non-stop. This poor guy got trapped when he flew into our canvas and Isinglass-enclosed back deck. He was just a bit stunned, fortunately, and made a full recovery. I was only able to get this one shot, but it’s the best hummingbird shot ever. The lighting was absolutely perfect.

By 1000 hrs, we were on our way to the Bitter End of Spiller Inlet, one of my favorite spots, if the wind doesn’t come up in the middle of the night.
