“On my canoe cruises yesterday and my sunrise cruise this morning (Holly Lake, Town of Bleecker), I saw otters (three this morning). This one was swimming amongst the remaining ice yesterday.
I haven’t yet uploaded the pictures I took this morning – two otters were playing atop beaver lodge number 1, which was still totally covered in snow – jumping on one another – they seem to live to have fun!
Yesterday I was freaking out a bit because I thought I saw a pair of loons on the far side of the lake! When I got out on the lake in my canoe, I found the pair – unfortunately, it was a pair of male common mergansers and NOT loons.
I’m like a kid in a candy store …again!!! How I’ve missed my sunrise and sunset cruises!!!
Heading back up after lunch – one more night (this one with my grandson, Ayden) – then home for the weekend – and then back up because …”I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing!”
The Adirondacks are coming back to life!!!”
