Much is happening on Beatitude Pond, just  a couple of days before summer is officially here. Lindley spotted the eagle flying near the same area it had before. I know the fish & game person thought our property is not suitable for a nest. Still we wonder.
On our evening walk we saw a merganser duck with six ducklings. First time we've seen merganser ducklings on the pond.
Lots of red winged blackbirds this year...all flying to the same location on the pond....good food source?
Black flies are gone, thank goodness.
Lindley said a snapping turtle laid eggs on the driveway by the crossings.
Muskrats have been active, beavers less so.
