It hardly seemed worth it to make a day trip to the cottage,
but we had plans for Sunday's Mothers Day.
And we would not be back for nearly a month; so we wanted to try to
resolve our water pump problems.
We tried a little early morning birding, and found the area
teeming with Yellow-rumped Warblers.
We finished our work and I went out in the boat to try a
little fishing. It was too early and too
windy, so I soon gave it up. But not
before seeing a pair of Buffleheads and a pair of Common Mergansers sitting on
a rock. This is the only chance to see
male mergansers, as they make themselves scarce once the chick duties arrive.
Meanwhile Barbara was working around the cottage and having
good luck with finches and a Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
