Wolf Lodge Bay on Lake Coeur d'Alene is the winter home for lots and lots of migrating bald eagles. When the lakes of northern Canada freeze up and their food supply dwindles they head south to Idaho. Their numbers vary, but generally run from 10 to over 150. They come to Wolf Lodge Bay to feast on the dying kokanee salmon that spawn and die during the winter - peaking around Christmas. Big Frank and Gina went eagle watching on Christmas. They saw about 20 eagles or so. It was a clear day with some lingering fog over the lake - beautiful backdrop for a Christmas day of eagle watching!
