Three Eagles

When I went down to the telecommuting office this morning to start the PC, I saw several large birds on the ice.  I retrieved the binoculars and verified a trio of bald eagles!  I watched them for a little while before running back up to the house to tell Amy.  She came down to the lake and we both watched the eagles for a few minutes.  The digital camera's zoom lens just didn't cut it.  I'm starting to think we need a conventional 35mm camera with a good telephoto lens!  Here's what it might have looked like:

Thanks to several bookings today, we have now reached 9 weeks where the resort is completely booked!  When I originally mentioned our goal of 12 weeks full, I honestly didn't think it would happen, but now it looks very promising that we will reach our goal!  Everyone involved with Dana's will surely enjoy a  memorable Summer of 2000!

On our way to Munising, we passed Scott Falls.  The recent thaw has transformed the falls.  We also visited Munising Bay to see if the ice fishing shacks are still on the ice.  We found one shack about 20 yards out on the ice.  It will be a challenge to get that shack off of the ice.
