One Flew Over the Eaglets' Nest


On another cloudy Sunday morning I paddled the Assabet River to the eagle nest where this year's edition of young eagles are contemplating life beyond their nest's confines... 


Their attention and mine was drawn upwards...

...by this big-winged creature...

An osprey was also in the area...




On a similarly cloudy Wednesday afternoon I paddled a bit of the Nashua River from Petapawag in Groton, MA...

A small tree with white blossoms that the beavers haven't got to yet...

No activity was noted at this nest in the Nashua...



Trash from the Assabet River was on the light side...


Trash from the Nashua included 41 "nip"  bottles...
Two other kayakers encountered at the takeout contributed some trash they'd recovered while out on the river.

It looked as if the tree limbs and trash on the upstream side of the 111/119 bridge may have broken loose and drifted downriver...
