Pakenham Paddle

August 31, 2018

We finally got to one our paddling day trips - a very short paddle on the Mississippi downstream from Pakenham.



We expected to see more birds, especially waterfowl, but there were only a few Wood Ducks.  There were dozens of Midland Painted Turtles sunning themselves on logs.


We paddled for a few km, then turned around.  On the way back, we explored an incoming creek on the east side for about 1 km.





We saw a couple of River Otters, a Belted Kingfisher and a Red-tailed Hawk.
