Rebel Roaming


Meghan and I got out on Sunday to enjoy the sunny weather. Out in Women's Bay we walked Rebel into the tide flats to spot a few birds. Kodiak has hosted several unique bird species during their spring migration including the greater white-fronted goose. The flats were a great place to let Rebel off of his leash. He is completely uninterested in birds unless he mistakes them for a squirrel so we knew that he wouldn't ruffle any feathers.
After leaving Women's Bay we headed out the Boy Scout Lake Trail and found our way to the sandy beach. We were amazed at the large fine sand that stretched to the waves. Meghan said that it looked like Mexico - green surf, black rocks and the beatiful sand. To Meghan's dismay I let Rebel off the leash to explore the tide pools and stretch out his legs. With good reason Meghan is always vigilant for bald eagles who might like the taste of hot dog. Nonetheless, Rebel and I sprinted across the beach a few times while a couple of "baldies" scoped the scene.

Watch out for our little hot dog! Glad to hear he's smart enough to know that he'll never catch a bird :-)
