As we left Pelee National Park, I looked up and spied a Bald Eagle riding the stiff west wind. It slanted across the wind, travelling north, the same direction as we. The eagle rode the wind just above tree level, sometimes below treetop height and having to weave through the limbs to clear air. As I drove Faye got the camera. If I stopped we fell far behind so I continued driving as Faye looked for an opportunity. This is a pretty good shot given the conditions.
We shared space for about five kilometers and time for about ten minutes, before finally parting ways in Leamington near the ferry dock. It was a truly remarkable, unique experience.
