Cottage Opening

May 19-21, 2020

With the Quebec border finally open, we headed up to the lake, stopping only in Brennan's Hill for a fishing licence and some beer.  The first order of business is to get the water in, but we were distracted frequently by a singing Northern Waterthrush.  We stopped to photograph it and also saw a Back-and-White and a Black-throated Blue.





Then we hung our hummingbird feeder and within minutes we had two visitors.  The main seed feeder was down, so it took quite a while to get it fixed.


Barbara discovered an Eastern Phoebe nesting inside our wood shed, so we decided to leave the blue tarp in place.



The next morning, w went for an early birding hike up the road. The best bird was a Wood Thrush.





















Back at the cottage, we got some more birds at our feeders.





Barbara went on a hike with Colleen and got some more goodies.



We went for a paddle and saw another waterthrush and a blue jay.





For mammals, we had our Red Squirrel and a Red Fox on the trip home.
