June 3, 2026 Drift

I got out on the Rock, it was slow but it’s always fun to get out. There is female Bald Eagle that was all wet from fighting a large fish. The male isn’t hanging around much or I keep missing seeing him. Lots of chicks around now. Well not lots, there is only a few and there should be a lot. Wildlife is down about 90% in my estimates. A few baby squirrels around now.

I did see that Mink again I have been spotting. Cuckoo birds are around now, they have a distinct sound. The Kingfisher have been shy lately but I managed to sneak up on one, that was funny because they love playing hide and seek games.

I am almost caught up with photo archives. I just finished 2025 and checked and fixed other pages. The gallery I use is finicky.

I take Rock River Photos from my boat, all hand held in full manual. I use an R5II and 2 R5 cameras with rf 100-500 and ef 300 II. I also fish some, but spend most of my time drifting. I drift near Sterling Rock Falls and the Mississippi River pool 13 & 14.
