We headed to the Kam for a Saturday afternoon paddle. It was another cold and overcast spring day (no big surprise). We didn’t have too much time today so we only paddled 4.5 km.

Fort William Historical Park

Paddling up to the voyageur canoes at the fort.

Fort William Historical Park’s voyageur boat launch.

Very, very slow-going. Heading west against the current on the Kaministiquia River.

What’s so special about this photo? Nothing at all. It’s just a river bank but if my camera had a faster start-up time, or if I was more alert, there would be massive bald eagle swooping down in front of me in this photo. When we paddled around the corner, we could see him perched in a tree but the current was pretty strong and I couldn’t hold a decent position to get a clear photo.

Heading back towards the fort.

What kind of bird is this? Is it a Cormorant? If you have good eyes, you can also see it in the photo above.

Here’s the bald eagle that swooped down in front of me earlier. There were four of them in total but when I took the pic, two of them were soaring high above the tree. This is directly across from the fort’s boat launch.
