Decided to do some after work unwinding on the Ipswich River in Middleton this afternoon. I launched for the first time from the Raymond A. Farnsworth Canoe Landing/Conservation Area on Route 114 which is only 5 minutes from my job site. The sun was out and it was unseasonably warm, though a bit windy. Once on the water, I headed upriver pushing over 3 beaver dams to somewhere near the Norris Brook Area where this tree blocked my further ascent...
Turning around here I began the easy trip back...
As I approached the pines in the distance, a pair of turkey vultures were patrolling the treetops...
Also seen today were a pair of hawks, a beaver, a musquash, a belted kingfisher, and a small woodpecker.
A modest amount of trash was encountered and recovered...
There were 12 recyclable containers (1 redeemable) and 11 pieces of miscellaneous rubbish such as styrofoam cups, plastic bags, a plastic watering can, and a few nip bottles. YTD = 804
