Eagle watching

On the way to Whistler we went to Sunwolf Eagle watching. It was really cold and it was a lot warmer inside the lounge/reception. We were given a brief explanation of the procedure, while we ate tasty muffins supplied by Sunwolf. Then we swapped our hiking boots for gumboots. Next we went for a short drive in a van, where we unloaded the raft and pulled it into the river. Then we put lifejackets on and watched a safety demonstrastion. It was cool to see so many eagles, there was over 100 and lots of juveniles!

We got some pretty good photos (Aunty Leanne in particular). We had a lot of fun spotting, counting and attempting to take photos of eagles. The view of the mountains was also noted. We also had complimentary hot chocolates. After departing the raft we did a little bush walk before we went back to the lounge/reception to eat complimentary chilli for lunch, which was very yummy!
