We are still kayaking, though more in the afternoons and are still seeing wildlife; some migrant and some resident.

We have been out a few times this week, on the Connecticut River and the Pompy. (North Hartland Lake is closed for the season.)
We saw a few mammals, great blue herons, mallards, mergansers, some turtles, and a hornets’ nest.

Squirrels
There have been an overabundance of squirrels this year after last year’s bumper crop of pine cones and acorns. They have been migrating across roads and rivers, looking for greener pastures. This week we have seen them swimming the Connecticut almost every day we have been out.
This grey squirrel landed on the pile of logs in the middle of the river for a rest before continuing on to the Vermont side.
Wildlife at Squam
I’ve been seeing a variety of wildlife on my paddles. Of course we’ve seen loons,
but also other birds such as gulls, 
mergansers,
and song sparrows.
I also saw dragonflies and damselflies 
and a squirrel.
Wildlife seen 6/10 to 6/17
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.
