There are many wood warblers and other species that make
their home around our cottage. This
spring, the predominant singing was by Chestnut-sided Warblers, Eastern Phoebes
and Red-eyed Vireos. From time to time,
we also heard Black-and White Warblers, but could not see them. We went for a walk and saw many bass that had just finished spawning., and a Tiger
Swallowtail perched obligingly on a lilac bloom. An Eastern Phoebe entertained us and a
Rose-breasted Grosbeak responded to the taped call. A Common Loon swam right behind our parked
boat.
We went for a Loon Count, and saw several including one on
the nest. We always hope for a good
breeding year. The Herring Gulls already
has to chicks, and a lone male Common Merganser seemed to have missed finding a
mate.
The trout fishing was rather slow, but patience was finally
rewarded when a 6-pounder came to net.
