I had noticed these lodges from the highway (I 395) so today I went stomping! The were definite signs that beaver HAD been here but I have no proof they still ARE here.
Nice to be in the woods again. Too far away I think there were a pair of Red Mergansers and a Wood Duck raced by but too fast to id the tree it was nesting in
I’m going with Eastern Painted Turtle
And a lot of Blue Heron
Tree swallows were out in droves. Or flight or gulp?
Midges, gnats, no see ums. Whatever they drove me off but I thought I saw something brown move on the lodge!
Turned out to be an Canada Goose doing I don’t know what. I’ll have to get a midge net and try again
