Finally, a calm day on the island. Early in the morning I spotted the largest group of juvenile Bald Eagles I’ve seen so far, about 8 of them perched high on the rocks on the Northwest side of the island. I went to do my daily checks, however some of my neighbours are getting a bit rude now. There are a pair of Canadian geese who try to attack me as I come and go from the house – I much prefer chasing off sea lions than chasing off geese.
