Got out on the Sudbury River at 6 am this morning launching from the Lincoln (MA) canoe launch. By the time I reached Lee's Bridge (photo above) I'd already had several encounters with wildlife out and about to greet the new day:
A blue heron...
Wood ducks...
White-tailed deer...
An eaglet exploring the outer confines of its nest...
...possibly a second eaglet can be seen just to the pictured eaglet's right...
...and a sleeping beaver...
At Weir Hill I found the plaque explaining the location's significance to be unreadable due to a layer of dirt...
A few minutes work with a wet rag brought it to the point where it could, once again, be viewed and read...
Portrayed on the plaque is a Native American spearing fish within the weir the site is named for.
The trail from the boat landing to the Great Meadows parking area is partially blocked by fallen trees...
Sunday mornings are usually quiet but this Sunday overperformed in that regard...
Didn't encounter any trash while out on the river but did find this bit at the edge of the parking lot...
