Kayaking the east end of Paul Lake on a greyish, breezy day. No one else on the lake, but there were loons and chicks, geese and goslings, an osprey, ducks, blackbirds, swallows, crows, and flowering crowfoot buttercups in the water. Day 34 for the year.
An early morning paddle around Pinantan Lake. Lots of blackbirds, marsh wrens, and swallows. Appearances by osprey, loons, and schools of fish. Great conditions.
On a day of rain showers, cloudy, and some sunny periods, I drove through the rain to find Paska Lake and kayaked around the lake, including a marshy back channel. Another fine paddle – Day 27 for 2026.
