This past week we have paddled on North Hartland Lake and the Connecticut. We saw more mammals than usual: Deer in North Hartland
and beaver in both North Hartland Lake and the Connecticut.
We also saw a variety of birds.
including some unusual ducks.
We spent a couple of evenings this week on the Connecticut River between Wilder and Hanover and have finally seen the duckings we hadn’t seen when we paddled earlier in the day.
We saw ducklings of varying ages, some families are new born, others are several weeks old.
The geese flew by.
This mallard male had a funny expression.
After dodging raindrops, we found a mink(?) and the usual ducks on the Connecticut River.
On our paddles to Mink Brook this week we have seen a variety of wildlife: mostly ducks, but also other birds, small animals and flowers.
