Eagle Capture On Hosmer Lake
The wildlife viewing is pretty spectacular on Hosmer lake during the summer. Captured this eagle on a kayak float. Several pairs of eagles make their home at Hosmer Lake during the summer and they are pretty easy to see. Lots of bird species make their nest here, as well as, beaver and land mammals. The lake is easy to float with a kayak, canoe, or SUP. No motorized boats here though!!! Keeping it wild! It’s a great way to see the high cascades in summer.
