I joined Jane and some of her family on North Hartland Lake this morning.
The wildlife did not disappoint.
North Hartland Lake 7/4
Post Pond 7/2
We spent the morning on Post Pond, watching the loons. The parents were kept busy feeding the two babies.
We also saw other birds: red-winged blackbirds, Canada geese and plastic ducks among others.
Grafton Pond 6/30
It was a beautiful on Grafton Pond this morning. The sun was out, the laurel blooming, the birds singing and the loons plentiful including a 2 day old chick.
Eshqua Bog 6/29
After this morning’s rain, Jane and I went to Eshqua Bog Natural Area, Hartland, VT, co-owned and managed by The Nature Conservancy of Vermont and The New England Wildflower Society.
They have built a boardwalk over the bog, making it handicapped accessible.
Hundreds of showy lady slippers were in bloom, a little past peak but still beautiful!
We also saw other bog plants.
Next year we will have to go earlier so we can see yellow lady slippers.
Pompy 6/27
We paddled the Pompy this morning, enjoying the birds singing, the flowers blooming and otters doing otter things.
