Nature's Symphony

Well the ice has finally left. It went out last Monday. The loons have arrived and a mix of northern ducks were on there way to to the Artic. Sat out on the dock yesterday and listened to the best symphony ever. The grouse were pounding there chests in all directions. The wood peckers were keeping a timely beat and just about every bird was singing in harmony with one another. The beavers even chimed in with there tails slapping the water. Launched boat #1 yesterday and went for a quick tour of the lake. Wanted to drop a line in but time seems to be a shortage this time of year. Maybe this evening. Going to put out a few minnow traps today and see whats happening. We will be helping the MNR this week with the Walleye egg collection for our annual stocking program on our main lake. Waiting for 45 to 48 degree temps to collect the eggs. Waiting for the night temps to stay consisently above 0 in order for us to turn our water on without the pipes freezing at night. I included a picture of a windmill taken from Port Burwell, Ontario this week. Very impressive. A total of 66 windmills that will power 35,000 homes. I wnated to take this one back to the lodge but couldn't get it in the truck. I have included a picture of a moose taken to late. Lets see if you can find Waldo the moose.
