I’ve been seeing a variety of wildlife on my paddles. Of course we’ve seen loons,
but also other birds such as gulls,
mergansers,
and song sparrows.
I also saw dragonflies and damselflies
and a squirrel.
We watched a family of loons off the dock this morning and saw them a little later when kayaking.
We paddled a few times this week, mostly on the Connecticut River between Wilder and Hanover, but also the North Hartland Lake. We saw beaver,
cormorants,
mergansers,
great blue herons,
an indigo bunting,
kingfishers,
a yellowthroat,
damsel flies,
merlins,
and lots of mallards and wood ducks.
On Tuesday, our friends Diane Langley and Mardrey Swenson (and Gemma) came with us.
We had a couple of visitors to the backyard on Saturday. They were only about 15 feet from the house, and just sat and watched as I opened the door to photograph them.
