Breakfast With The Eagles
Early morning provides a wonderful opportunity to observe the area's diverse wildlife and enjoy the solitude of a private scenic float. The Snake River corridor is home to myriad bird and mammal species.
Mallard, Goldeneye and Bufflehead ducks are very common. Canadian geese and the Common Merganser are always around, often trailing a brood of young. The prehistoric looking Great Blue Heron and a Heron rookery will be seen as well. We occasionally see Sand Hill Cranes which are particulary majestic in flight and their trumpeting call can be heard from great distances.
Seven pairs of nesting eagles inhabit this section of the river and sightings of Eagles, Osprey and American White Pelicans are a daily occurrence. We frequently see
Bald Eagles and
Osprey diving for fish and when successful it is truly amazing. The early morning also offers some of the best opportunities to see Moose, Elk and Deer.
We will also see a wide variety of wildflowers and beautiful stands of mature trees. When we complete our float we stop at our private riverside tipi camp and enjoy a delicious brunch.
