After a cold and wet spring, the water temperature is high enough to allow safe paddling. Yesterday, Jane and I paddled the Connecticut from Wilder. The river was full of people: kayaks, canoes, motorboats, jetskis and not full of waterfowl. We did see some songbirds,
some spring flowers,
and had a chance to examine some of the beavers’ winter handiwork.
This morning we headed to North Hartland Lake. We were surrounded by birdsong but only saw a few birds.
The highlight was a porcupine in a tree.
