Black Hill Boat Ride

We girls went to Black Hill this afternoon for the bald eagle boat ride program.  The weather wasn't as humid today as it has been recently, so we actually had a pleasant boat ride.
 Julia swore her binoculars didn't work with the smaller end at her eyes, and she saw so much better the other way.  Whatever floats her boat, I suppose...
 Even though we did not see any eagles this afternoon, we were able to learn about eagles and hold some replicated artifacts.  Here's Evelyn with a life-sized (fake) eagle egg...
 ...and here's Julia with a replica of an adult eagle's talon.  It's pretty big!
 Evelyn tried on a pair of eagle wings, to get an idea of their wingspan (seven feet!).  All in all, it was a fun, one-hour program.  Hopefully we can squeeze in one more program before the summer is over.
