Got out on the water three times this past week when the winds were a little less gusty. Twice on the Assabet River in Concord and Stow, and once on the Nashua River in Pepperell...all in eastern Massachusetts. On the Assabet River it was promising to see one adult eagle standing sentry duty (photo above) while the other adult was seen twice in the vicinity of the nest. However, on the Nashua River it was disappointing to see no eagle activity at a nest where two adult eagles were seen a month ago. The unattended Nashua nest...
There were mute swan nests on both the Nashua and Assabet rivers. The Nashua swans tended their nest in a backwater off the river's main stem...
Wood ducks and a woodchuck escaped my camera on the Assabet.
The Nashua River's piney look...
...compared with the Assabet's more deciduous appearance...
The Assabet River was the place to be for painted turtles not concerned with proper social distancing...
A recently felled tree spans the Assabet bank-to-bank in Westvale (below Damonmill)...
Sunday's trash...
Monday's trash...
Saturday's trash...
Looking forward to warmer days in May.
