We left our campground around noon to head through town and out the other side to the other State Park that has a fishing weir where the bears like to go and fish. We weren’t disappointed – there was one female bear, fishing for quite a while. There were a couple of people out on the weir who were counting fish – this bear knows the location – she has been there previous years. She is also quite cautions of people. When the men wanted to come off the weir, they simply started walking and made noise and the bear moved off to let them through. She then continued her fishing.
We saw quite a few eagles while we were out driving. We had clear blue skies – just a perfect day!
More good weather is forecast for this next week – tomorrow we’ll head back out and see if we can find more eagles. It is the gathering place for them – by October/November, there will be about 3500 congregating here. The ranger told us to day that there are about 400 though that make their home here so we’ll take a look for some of them.
