We decided to canoe over to Little Cedar Lake, a voyage of
well over an hour. We saw a single
Common Loon near the creek connecting our two lakes. We headed to the north end of Little Cedar
where we encountered a loon family - 2
parents and 2 chicks. This equalled the
entire loon chick output of the big lake!
We came back in the afternoon and chatted with Bruce Amos at
the entrance to Big Cedar. We found out
that his son, Will Amos was running in the election as the Liberal candidate.
Back on our deck, we spotted a surprise visitor to our
feeder area - a Black and White Warbler.
We see them commonly, but not usually so close to the deck! Other visitors were the common Purple Finches
and Ruby-throated Humming birds.
We were amused to see an Eastern Chipmunk helping himself to
the flower leaves in the planter box.
