My Little Pretty Ones

While on the boat tour we came to know just how deeply our captain cared for the eagles and other wild creatures that inhabit the skies and shores of Flathead Lake. He would speak with the animals and birds and reassure them that neither he, nor his passengers meant them any harm. Upon sighting an eagle perched a quarter mile away, high in the top of an evergreen he would tell the bird "It's just me, my little pretty boy" another favorite phrase of his to the birds was "Keep on doing what you're doing" Dave and I were sitting behind the captain our companions were in the bow. Once when the captain said, "Hello my two pretty boys" obviously talking to two fledgling eagles, we overheard comments from the two in the bow implying he might have been talking to Dave and I. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just needed to add that little story that has entertained a couple of bow riders far more than was warranted. Keep on doing what you're doing.
