Magnificent Monday

Sunday was an awesome day here in the interior. We had a high of 62 degrees. Since the sun was out in full force, so were many Alaskans. Today will shape up like yesterday. We will have mostly sunny skies this morning with highs in the upper 50's and lower 60's. However, clouds will be on the increase. This will set the trend for the rest of the week. The NWS calls for mostly cloudy skies throughout the rest of the 7 day forecast with a chance of rain during the day and snow at night.

Since the weather was so nice yesterday, Mike and I headed out to Creamer's Field. Creamer's Field is a migratory waterfowl refuge. Each Spring and Fall, thousands of Candian Geese and Sandhill Cranes flood Creamer's Field during their migratory journey. Yesterday seemed to be extra special. While watching the birds, we notice a single bald eagle soaring above the field. Using my binoculars, I was able to watch this incredible bird soar and finally swoop down to catch its prey. What an awesome experience!
