Sunday Pic of the Day

I started a new road this morning from our place to join in to an old mining road on my neighbors place. It will give me around 6-700 acres to hunt without going out the front gate.View attachment 321956
Finished it Friday afternoon before weekend rain. I traced it out with Onyx earlier today. The deer, piggies and the elk have all left their mark. 2760' long and 91' elevation drop.IMG_20240416_141202522.jpgScreenshot_20240416-124405.png

I couldn't wait until Sunday! To some it's no biggie but to us it's major cool! We have 2 Bald Eagles. I've seen a couple miles to the south of us but never around here in 40+ years of living in the Backcountry. I was in my backhoe running up to stack some brush to burn. The tractor didn't bother them a bit so I got a little closer. I was about 100' away and they took off.IMG_20240418_093408771.jpgIMG_20240418_093358566.jpgIMG_20240418_093951194.jpgIMG_20240418_093733915.jpg

Very cool!

Where I live along the West Gallatin River, the bald eagles are around all winter, fishing and feeding. Last year for the first time I had seen it, two eagles were flying together along the river, making more noises than usual. As I sat by the firepit watching them, they alit in a big cottonwood tree ... and the one bald eagle gave the other one a piggy-back ride!
By the time it was clear to me what was happening, I couldn't get my phone camera ready quickly enough to document the exciting scene.
