A wealth of wildlife
A few truly wonderful warm sunny days filled with yard work, house work and some wonderful kayaking breaks.
This four-toed salamander was among several found under logs while tidying up the yard.
These common loons can be heard calling out on the pond day and night.
Large numbers of painted turtles are to be seen basking on logs at the edge of the pond. Their numbers do not seem to have suffered from the pond almost completely drying out last summer due to a leaking dam.
This bald eagle allowed me quite close in my kayak.
At one time there were four eagles soaring overhead.
This beautiful osprey circled and offered excellent views. It is wonderful to have them back with their plaintive cries.
