Tay River Paddle

July 22, 2014

Today I paddled the section of river from Last Duel Park to the Tay Wildlife Reserve and back.  After leaving Perth, the route is mostly wild.  I encountered an unusual number of Great Blue Herons, a few Green Herons, and even an American Bittern.  It is surprising at how wary these birds are of the mostly silent canoe.  It is very difficult to take photos from a canoe in even the slightest breeze, so I have little evidence to show.
