Long Weekend
The long weekend finally arrived and there is a rainy start. The previous week has been glorious and has allowed us to go kayaking and sit out on the dock enjoying the sunshine. We have been observing a hooded merganser pair flying around the house and fishing in the water. We finally saw the female trying to get into a hole about 50 feet high in a tree off of our Muskoka room. I actually thought she was stuck there, the hole being pretty small. She managed to get out and has been back many times. I guess this is her nest, so we hope to see the baby mergansers emerging in about four weeks! The blackflies have not been too bad so far!

I believe I finaly saw one of the Eagles in the area...it's wing span was huge, so I know it was No Hawk!!!!!Of course no camera handy, and I was driving on the Hwy....
Heard our first Loon on Horn Lake where the trailer is, and the black flies there today...well they were thick enough to carry you away!!!!
Looking forward to spending more days & nights out on Horn Lake and enjoying the wildlife out there....
so nice to see you at the Art of Remembering show...sorry we didn't get to speak with each other more!!!!
Hey Gabrielle...I had another sighting of the Eagles...Oh!!! are they beautiful...again no camera with me and of course I'm driving down the hwy. I wonder if they are nesting somewhere near the Big East? There is that huge big high ridge that you can see near the Tembec plant....looks like a good area there...what do you think?????
Your little frog painting looks so cute at my trailer...it makes me smile whenever I look up to it from our dinning table...I can hear their sweet springtime song...which was a sound I grew up with as a child...and it would serenade me to sleep!!!!!
I love your pictures Gabrielle.
Ducks in trees? I've learned something new!
