Hardly needed a boat yesterday on the Assabet River between Egg Rock and Spencer Brook. Could have waded almost all of it. The photo above is looking downriver towards Willow Island and shows that the channel to the island's right is dry.
At Spencer Brook there was no water entering the river...
The same spot a month ago on 7/4 when the brook was down to a trickle...
Exposed stones arranged in the river...
...with the intention of diverting fish?...fish that are rapidly running out of places to hide from herons both blue...
...and green...
This mud turtle was seen hangin' with the big guys...
More old bottles had come to light...
...the best one being this little 4 ounce (six-sided) bottle with what appears to be an embossed C & Co inside two circles...
...found alongside Willow Island. Still had stopper in it with hole through center.
A glassy haul...
...before going home to do my rain dance.
