Biking, Canoeing & Fishing at the Cottage

July 7-8, 2019

We bought a new bike rack and took our bikes to the cottage. We went biking from Messines to Lac Castor, then had a picnic at Blue Sea rest stop.

We stopped to bird and got an American Crow, Chipping Sparrow and Common Yellowthroat.

At lunch, Barbara got a Northern Waterthrush and another Common Yellowthroat, while Grant spotted a Broad-winged Hawk and Bill got an American Goldfinch.

After returning to the cottage, we went for a paddle and got rather close to some loons.

There were a number of birds in the trees, but the only one to come out for us was a Cedar Waxwing.

Upon returning, we saw a juvenile Northern Water Snake by our dock.

A Hairy Woodpecker was sneaking a drink from the hummingbird feeder while an Easter Phoebe came by.

Then it was time for some fishing and Bald Eagle watching.
