The Eagle Whisperer…………

I try to keep the eagle calm while Dean works his magic

You try making an eagle sit still while you paint it’s toes……..!!

Fortunately Dean has had plent of experience.  You could almost call him the “eagle whisperer” judging by how calm this eagle remained while  in the kitchen at VBL.

 Is it open season on Eagles?

While they seem as thick as fleas, it is not part of any bag limit up here in the Great White North.  Unfortunately a number do succumb to “Eagle vs transport truck” encounters over the winter months……especially when road kill deer are used as bait.  This particular bird was picked up along the highway last winter, and after some legalities will now spend it’s summers indoors at Vermilion Bay Lodge.  Dean was gratious enough to tone down the lime green beak and feet that he came with.

    Hi Gord…Your ability to keep that eagle still while having its nails done was nothing short of amazing. Andy squirms all the place while I’m doing his. Any suggestions?

    Professor,

    Please note that Gord is not drilling through his nails. He is simply painting them.

    Some of you know that I lived in Lancaster, Wisconsin many years ago. Now read this strange article about an apparently open season on hawks here in the States. As you read this story, keep track of the number of absurd things happening in this story:

Testimonials

This is a first class resort located on Vermillion Bay on Eagle Lake. The cabins are very clean and well kept. The boats are new with new motors and are in great shape. The owner will also clean your fish for you after your day on the water. Make no mistake the fishing on Eagle Lake is world class.

The Lodge is owned by Gord and Susanne Bastable who will make you feel welcome and before you know it you feel like family. They are the best of hosts. The atmosphere is low key and laid back leading to a great vacation.

This is my 19th year of enjoying the hospitality of the lodge and i can’t think of going anywhere else on Eagle Lake.
