Changing Seasons

May is transition month for weather on Tomini Bay. One of the sure signs of changing weather is when lines of floating debris appear. This debris is typically branches, leaves, coconuts, and foam. In early May when heavy rains allowed us to continuing diving, we noticed about ten sea eagles circling the river mouth as we were heading for a dive site. We watched as one by one the eagles swooped down to the water’s surface to grab not a fish but a branch. Evidently, changing weather also means nesting season.
