We paddled several times this week. An evening paddle on the Connecticut on Sunday didn’t yield a lot but this eagle may have been a reason.
We found a family of green herons on the Pompy on Monday (we saw 3 at the same time). 
They were very good at hiding.
The swallows had fledged from their nest under the bridge.
The Joe-Pye weed was in full bloom.
Tuesday found us on North Hartland Lake. We found the heron that likes to stick out his tongue on the beach,
a kildeer,
and watched a duck trying to swallow a snail.
We watched a broad-winged hawk in a tree and overhead.
Thursday was wood duck day. We saw more wood ducks than the usual mallards
The merlins were in a tree across from Kilowatt Park.
