Jane and I went to Grafton Pond last week to see the loons.
As we approached the pond, we found a family on Canadian geese on the dam.
We saw a few loons.
While investigating some frog song, I came across a couple of large brown eggs in a mud nest.
Realizing what they were, I backed away and along came a loon who lumbered up onto the nest.
We’ve kayaked a couple of times a week on the Connecticut River or on the Ompompanoosuc. The geese and ducks are out with their families.
Other birds are showing their colors.
The kingbirds have nested.
And the red-winged blackbirds are guarding their territory from predators.
During the past week, we have paddled on the Connecticut River, North Hartland Lake and the Ompompanoosuc River and have seen a variety of critters.
I walked down the hill to the White River to see the geese in Bob’s field.
