Bald Eagles a mix of ages in Newfoundland - Sept 2013

I just love Bald Eagles. We saw eagles every single day. Once we walked to the point by the cabin and there were 8 bald eagles from adults to this year juveniles playing by the rocks and beach. On the second last day Donna and I saw a eagle in the distance land in a tree. We walked towards the adult bald eagle to get the most amazing show ever. First we had to climb onto the deck of an old boat house (scary) to get the first photos of him in the tree and then he did a fly by (6 times for us). Memories.

Cross Fox, Norris Point, Newfoundland Sept 2013

Cross Fox, which is a partially melanistic Red Fox. It's called a Cross Fox because the black line on back and across at shoulders forms a cross. There's a greater percentage in the population, the farther north you go. A fully melanistic Red Fox is called a Silver Fox - Thank you for the proper ID - Jean Iron and Ron Pittaway Donna Mary and I saw this beautiful fox on our way to Norris Point, Newfoundland. It was on the side of the road. The Cross Fox is a juvenile. Beautiful young fox.
