Setting sail from the beautifully scenic shores of Baddeck, Nova Scotia, we headed towards the estate of Alexander Graham Bell to see the well kept grounds from the vantage of the bay. I looked toward the sky and was greeted by two eagles on the wing. John, the captain of the vessel, knew the eagles so well that he named them “Alex” and “Mabel”, most fitting since they frequented the home of Alexander and his wife, Mabel.
