Wrapped up the month of March with paddles on the Charles River alongside Broadmoor (above) in Natick last Saturday, and the Sudbury River in Lincoln/Concord yesterday. It won't be long before the trees lose their skeletal look and vegetation starts leafing out. The confluence of Indian Brook and the Charles provided a theme of water and sticks......with a similar sight on the Sudbury River...
One beaver's source of frustration...
...as he apparently didn't notice the tree he'd spent hours gnawing through was attached to an adjacent trunk three feet above the ground.Wood ducks were seen on both rivers.
Sudbury River...
Charles River...
The dam in South Natick showed a good flow...
...while the red bridge just upstream displayed an air of serenity...An occupied eagle's nest was seen on the Sudbury...
...with the other adult eagle on a nearby bough...
That makes three different eagle nests seen in the last 11 days, all within a 20 mile radius of where I live.Speaking of eagles, ran into Maury...
...a noted photographer of eagles. He mentioned having seen the wayward Steller's sea eagle that recently visited Massachusetts and Maine.Not a lot of trash:
Small haul from the Charles...
...and nearly the same from the Sudbury...Looks like the bait-tub sans cover on one river and the cover sans bait-tub on another have found each other. A sign of the times? (I hope not)...
...note the bottom line reads "Go Home"
