There were lots of eagles around on this day |
On Sunday, May 17 we kayaked down the Courtenay River and
into the estuary. As we mentioned in
a previous post on May 3, this spot is very popular
and the Air Park Marina boat launch means that your “put in” is easy. On this
day we must have seen 20 kayaks plus a couple of paddler boarders and 1 canoe
in our 2 hour paddle But the big find
was seeing lots of eagles along the way. We hadn’t seen so many eagles in one
spot since the herring run in mid March at Point Holmes.
There must have been some fish being cleaned
or thrown out to attract so many eagles. One of the joys of paddling in this
area is that you never know what you might see so always bring your camera. For more information on sea kayaking in the Courtenay - Comox area you can search this blog by typing in "Sea kayaking in Courtenay - Comox" in the search bar on the top left.
