We paddled on the Connecticut on Sunday evening and saw some different wildlife,
Evening paddle on the Connecticut
Last paddle of the season
We paddled the Ompompanoosuc this afternoon, the last paddle of the season. The water (and air) is getting too cold for safety without specialized clothing. We’ve had a good run: averaging 3 times a week since mid May.
Connecticut River paddle
We spent a beautiful afternoon paddling the Connecticut River and Mink Brook.
George Pond
Today we went to George Pond in Enfield Center.
The boat landing was very muddy and shallow. I temporarily lost my shoe in the mud and we had difficulty in paddling out.
The day was beautiful, the colors near peak.
We didn’t see much wildlife: just a pair of mallards, a few little brown birds, dragonflies and heard splashes that may have been frogs and/or turtles.
Another paddle on the Connecticut
We paddled the Connecticut again this morning.
Geese on a rock 
This duck let me get within arm’s length of it.
