Boot Lake Bald Eagles

Posted on by

Bald Eagles aren’t an unusual bird around here, and we see them quite frequently. However, the other day there were two Eagles and a few Black Billed Magpies on the deer carcass at the same time, about 25 yards from our front window. We typically save the deer scraps and carcass from the fall hunting season to attract wildlife. There are several different types of birds and animals that will feed off the carcass all winter, including, weasels, eagles, crows, ravens, blue jays, chickadees, and magpies.

Toboggan Ride

Posted on by

My dad found a sweet, retro toboggan while out antiquing recently and decided it should be tested out before using it for decoration. The kiddos got a little ride out of the deal, and mom and dad got a few kid-free minutes 😉

Boot Lake Public Access

Posted on by

Often quieter than the rest of the lake due to the shelter from the trees, the north end is home to two beaver houses, two loons nests, and on occasion, some good fishing.  The sight of a small, fuzzy loon chick is not uncommon in the early days of June. I took this photo at the public access in the early spring, before the landing dock had been put in. The lake is clearest this time of year, with the clarity reading (more info on how this is found) often reaching 20-30’.  This north woods oasis is, by far, my favorite part of the lake.
