September 28-29, 2020
We were going back up to the lake for a couple of days. We took a scenic detour on Ch. Fieldville at Low, stopping at the bridge over Stag Creek. Quite an impressive gorge! Barbara walked up the road and got some Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Dark-eyed Juncos and Yellow-rumped Warblers.
A little further along, the road was blocked as the next bridge was out. So we took the detour south along Ch McDonald and Ch. Murray. There was an impressive cliff with an old nest, presumably ravens.
We rejoined Ch. Filedville and things were going swimmingly until the cops passed us and we were stopped at the scene of hydro lines down over the road. We had no option but to go back. But at the corner of Ch. Murray, we noticed a flock of birds which Barbara had also seen on the way in. It was hard to tell what they were because they were American Pipits which we rarely see.
We carried on toward the cottage, and stopped to photograph a Porcupine on Ch du Lac à L'Arche.
We did some boating, fishing and canoeing, enjoying the fall colours.
On the way home, we met Colleen out for her walk wearing hunter orange.
Further on, we took another scenic detour by Ch Woods and Ch des Erables, and spotted an American Kestrel on a wire.
It was a short but good trip.
