    then headed into the bush for a nature walk.  After a long paddle
    back against the wind, we walked around a small island near the boat.

    There were lots and lots of mosquitoes -- they covered Paul's jacket
    after we emerged from the forest.  Click on Paul for a closeup.

    This oyster catcher egg blends in so well with its surroundings,
    we almost stepped on it.

    As we left Geikie Inlet, we saw these bald eagles in the trees.
