Wildlife at Aylen Lake by Fred Kuehn

Recently we have had reports of some interesting wildlifesightings at Aylen Lake, and we have received some excellentphotos as well. Just before Thanksgiving, Andrew Hassall sent

in some photos of a Bald Eagle he had spotted fishing at theNorthwest arm of the lake. Andrew also sent in some excellentloon photos from the summer.

Bruce Dick reported seeing a cougar chasing a 10-point bucknear Gaffneys Bay while he was out for a boat ride with his sonMatthew, Matts friend Jesse Filator, and their golden retriever

Bailey. They initially saw the buck in the water, then he swamto shore as the boat approached. Next thing they knew he wasrunning through the woods along the shore with a cougar only15 feet behind him! That prompted the buck to jump back intothe lake, at which point Bailey decided to jump in and join thefun. The Dicks had their hands full retrieving the retrieverbefore he became a snack for the cougar. Unfortunately,although all three of them saw the cougar, they were unable to

get a photo. They did however get some good shots of anobviously frantic buck.

To see these photos and more in glorious colour, visit theWildlife Sightings Forum at www.aylenlake.ca
