After dodging raindrops, we found a mink(?) and the usual ducks on the Connecticut River.
Connecticut River 8/15
Grafton Pond 8/13
A beautiful morning on Grafton Pond.
The geese were at the boat landing, hoping for a handout.
We saw two families of loons, one at least a week younger than the other. The younger set of babies were swimming and fishing alone, without parents close by.
The older baby’s parents showed up as soon as he called. This is probably the same family we saw on 6/30.
North Hartland Lake 8/8
We took a leisurely paddle on North Hartland Lake this morning, seeing herons (blue, green and white), turtles, eagles.
Connecticut River 8/6-7
We’ve seen some interesting wildlife on our paddles on the Connecticut River and Mink Brook over the past couple of days: ducks, cormorant, bald eagle, catbird, muskrat, deer and some Indian pipe.
Green Heron on the Pompy 8/3
We saw a few green herons on our paddle on the Ompompanoosuc this morning.
