I joined Jane, her brother and two sons for a delightful paddle on Ricker Pond. The color was just about peak.


Jeremy took delivery of his new fishing kayak.




We found a parent and young loon

who dove when they spotted an eagle flying overhead.

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.
I accompanied Jane, her brother, two sisters, a brother-in-law and nephew on their trip to Joe’s Pond in Danville, VT. The main pond was nearly wall to wall cottages.
We did see a couple of groupings of loons there.
We proceeded to the inlet, which was covered with lilies and ducks.
Heading upstream, we came across several low beaver dams which we could cross.
We saw birds, bugs and wildflowers.
Jane and I went to Grafton Pond on Tuesday. The loon chicks have hatched and are being tended by their parents. We saw two families of loons, one with a very young chick,

and another with a larger and older chick.

We also found a great blue heron hiding in the bushes.

We spent the morning on Grafton Pond. We saw our usual complement of loons and geese.
Both species are thinking about nesting, as well as a hairy woodpecker.
