On Sunday morning there were numerous indicators of just how low water levels have become on the Concord River. At the Egg Rock inscription there was plenty of dry real estate in front of it.
Downriver and past the Old North Bridge pipes which once conveyed liquids to the river were now exposed...
Further along another pipe, usually submerged, presently conveys treated wastewater into the river...
The many Canada geese on the river seemed more vocal than usual...perhaps because of this immature eagle...
...who was seen at several spots about a mile or two apart.Another paddler mentioned his concern that his canoe's bow passenger might be seen by the eagle as a "lunch nugget"...
My turnaround spot was Brewter's Woods where a bit of fall foliage greeted me...
The pond behind the hill had lost most of its water...Two critters that didn't seem to mind the low water levels were this egret...
...and this killdeer...Not much trash of a floatable nature...with some exposed glass bottles...
