Joey:
Kim Smith’s Sunday evening GMG photographs of the visiting juvenile Bald Eagle reminded me of Anne-Lise’s and my trip to Alaska in 2000. We landed in the fishing town of Petersburg on the Seventeenth of May, which is Norway’s national holiday. There is a large Scandinavian population there, and we were welcomed at the airport in true Viking fashion. They were also dedicating a new statue to fishermen lost at sea, and we attended the ceremony.
Back to the Bald Eagles – they hang around the marinas on masts, waiting for fish handouts. And the west coast Puffin is quite different from ours.
Best, Pat Morss
