One of the last days in 2017 saw me in Brackendale...

It had just snowed almost a foot, the night before, but undaunted, I headed out to find some of the bald eagles. There weren't many, but the day was stunning and well worth the trip.

You know, for a brief second there, I thought the snow eagle was real!
