Not So Fair Fairhaven

 

This swamped canoe was the first thing I saw yesterday upon paddling into the Sudbury River's Fairhaven Bay.  Obviously someone recently had a very bad day while out in the bay.  As I paddled around the bay I came across various items that had, most probably, floated away from the canoe: two Frabill Flow-Trail bait containers, one tackle box, an Isolator Fitness Bag, and a paddle.  Thinking the canoe's owner will be returning at some point I secured these items to the canoe's bowline...

The bay was otherwise very peaceful with hardly any wind and cloudy but rain-free skies.  The only other person encountered was this fisherman with his well equipped setup...

He reported conditions being perfect for excellent fishing.
  

It now being two days past the equinox, some fall foliage is starting to appear...


Saw this bald eagle...

...receive a visit from a hawk a few limbs away.  The hawk appeared to be trying to present itself as a larger bird...


The eagle moved to a more solitary perch...


An unusually sedentary kingfisher was seen near Martha's Point...
Yawning?...


Trash was on the light side with one Mylar balloon and a few plastic water bottles...
