The waning Strawberry Moon...
...was still influencing wildlife yesterday morning as seen by the 8-point buck (opening photo). Of course, it's also possible that the buck, like me, was just up earlier than usual due to it being so incredibly warm...79 degrees F. at 5 am. The weather forecast was calling for temperatures to reach 100 degrees F. for a second day in a row which doesn't often happen around these parts. Being a confirmed winter-hater, I wished the morning's warmth could've been captured it a bottle and saved for opening on some bitter cold winter day.
At the boat launch another kayaker, David, was encountered...
...who was already on the river and hard at work pulling invasive water chestnut plants.
The Assabet River was serene...
...and kindly offered some shady spots here and there...
This year's Assabet River eagle is now fledged...
One of its parents stayed in the general area of the now vacant nest...
Hardly any trash. In World Cup terms it was next to "nil"...
