Have I mentioned lately how much i love being retired?

It was so foggy here yesterday, you couldn't see the opposite bank until about noon. We fished anyway, at a little city lake called Chelsea Lake.

No, not Chelsea Clinton. Didn't catch much, but I did catch one I was going to ask QA to give me a read on, him being the resident expert on panfish.

We had a good Nat Geo day. Watched a young immature baldy fishing for a good while. When he finally caught one and tried to settle in to eat it, a crow came and landed right next to him and harassed the shit out of him. Then a few more came along and started in on him. They got distracted by an owl that flew by and took off after him. Why do they hate owls so much?

and ps, on edit, this young eagle had so much white on him we scratched our heads for a long time wondering if he was other kind of raptor. I looked at several pics on my audubon app when I got home and I guess its more common that I though. Thos bird looked like a redtail almost, but redtails don't fish and tos bird was too big for a red tail. This eagle must have been an immature one that is molting is all .i can figure. Couldn't get a pic.
