Happily turned the page on my calendar before heading out on the river to greet February. The new month arrived with little fanfare...light winds, cloudy skies, and temperatures in the upper 30s. As I write this on February 2nd it can be said with confidence that our local groundhogs are definitely not being frightened by their shadows. Meteorological spring is only 29 days away!
Yesterday the Assabet River in Stow was a peaceful place with plenty of robins, a few bluebirds, one or two kingfishers, a red-tailed hawk, many ducks, and this mute swan pair...
A lone coyote was also seen patrolling the shoreline
Snow draping some tree limbs make this mature eagle less conspicuous than usual...
He was busy finishing a meal of what looks to be duck, and came into clearer view as I passed by...
Trash for the day included 10 miniature aka "nip" bottles...
...and was kept on ice.
