It's nice to see that the pair have a vantage point overlooking the river. I hope you got to see them catch some fish?

LK; I did not. They perched in the tree for a while, then started calling, ran off an immature bald eagle that apparently had come too close, and then settled back in the tree for a while. This was taken on the same misty morning that I heard the wolves.

Another photo with a nice sense of mood.
