Yesterday found me feeling the way I suspect baseball fans feel on Opening Day. For them it's the sound of bat hitting ball...for me it was seeing a new cycle of life getting underway on the Assabet River in Stow, MA. I was also grateful to have made it through another New England winter. So while everything else these days seems topsy-turvy the river provided a welcome sense of normalcy.
Conditions on the water were ideal: a cloudless sky, temperatures in the mid 60's F, a southerly breeze, and no ice or snow to contend with (photo above).
These common mergansers were pleased...
An adult eagle stayed in its nest hopefully keeping some eggs warm...
Trash included 7 "nip" bottles, some miscellaneous plastic packaging, and a discarded sign from last fall's election...
