Back to Reality

 

On Sunday I got back out on my local waters and there was still snow in one of the Assabet River's sloughs to welcome me home.

Thanks to all the recent snow melt water levels have risen to the point where the inscription at Egg Rock is almost completely submerged...

Lots of wood ducks were out and about...

A pileated woodpecker went about his work...

...and my first red-winged blackbird of 2026 was encountered on the Concord River..

Also on the Concord the Old North Bridge looks ready for upcoming April 19th...

Trash included 21 "nip" bottles...

After Monday's substantial rainfall several local rivers will likely rise to flood stage levels
