Isabella Sunrise

November 27@ 6:29am: Getting up before the sun and heading eastward. I arrive at Isabella just in time to wake the chickadees up and enjoy their morning chatter among the pines. Weather across the Sound calls for light snow…red sky this morning has this sailor taking warning as I zip up my jacket and move on to monitor East Harbor.

7:20am @ Big Club Golf Course: Well, early birds do catch the worms I suppose-I spot the Golden eagle again. While I was surveying the sands in East Harbor it swooped down and landed in a small tree curiously close by. I followed it down the Course till it landed again and hoped for a photo.

Local Island residents have mentioned seeing a VERY large bird since late September, so I am not certain it arrived with Hurricane Sandy. I am certain though that it has figured out where to snack on a pheasant or two.
