Saturday morning in the drizzle and fog I guided a canoe trip for a father and his grown daughter. The trip was most enjoyable. I had 
arranged our direction of travel so the light breeze was at our backs and the paddling was easy with that assistance and the conversation a delight.
I’ve been fishing the last couple of days but the wildlife watching has been impressive. I know my mind is wandering but some things are hard to miss. Friday we watched as an eagle harassed a pair of loons in the middle of Megunticook Lake. I depend on loons to make noise when an eagle is flying overhead but never understood the alarm. It was clear that the alarm is well founded!
Fishing yesterday afternoon seemed like it would be bleak at best. The air temperature was fifty one when I launched and there was drizzle once in a while, luckily there was little wind. The wildlife (and fish) more than made up for it though. As I passed up the river to Round Pond I came to a goose with a bunch of goslings. The goose gave me the broken wing act right off with lots of noise and show. I tried to explain that I had no interest in her goslings but it was no use.
