Heywood Island is a large island lying between Killarney and Little Current. There are a series of coves and smaller islands along the north shore, creating multiple safe harbors. Because of its proximity to Little Current, the only place with grocery stores, it is a popular spot.
A pair of eagles had a nest on one of the small islands. In this image, the female eagle can be seen on the nest and a juvenile eagle, full sized but without the characteristic white feathers, stands on the left.
The spot where Last Dance was at anchor provided a view of the nest. Both parents are on the nest here. The male had just returned with a meal he had captured. About a week later, it was reported that the eagles were giving flying lessons to the eaglets.
