The wind had died at first, not a breath of air. Then it came from the south as a light breeze on my way back.

Bright and sunny and cool. Talked with Allan and delivered another ball to Kevin for his dogs to play with.
Wind was not bad, it gave me another ride back home for free.

66° to start, 74° on return, bright and sunny! Wind 8 to 10 mph, waves broke over my bow, and my muscles were telling me it was a tough paddle going east across the bay. It was an easy run back home with the wind by my back. Many birds were hiding from the wind, but the Ospreys and the Turkey Vultures were having fun with the updraft as the wind hit our homes!Â

Also cool and partially sunny, sun goes in and out. Wonderful trip, lots of birds. Another free ride home.
I was asked about alligators, nope, I have never seen an alligator in my route, they do not like salt water. They will hang out in brackish water sometimes, but not salt water.
A Merganser was hanging around, he eats fish. He will go along paddling with his head under water. Then when he spies a fish he kicks it into super drive and zooms ahead!!
The mystery of my wheels.
I have an aluminum framework and two wheels that I use to get my kayak down to the point when the water is too low to paddle out from shore, like it was this morning. I went to my storage container to grab the wheels, they were not there, I figured I must have left them down at the point. I walked down to the point. No wheels. I walked back and had to drag my kayak down to the point.Â
I went to the theater and managed the lights for the play this afternoon.Â
When I returned, I decided to go back to the point and look better, There were my wheels, in the track where I had dragged my kayak this morning. Someone had put those wheels there between me going out at 8 AM and my search at 4:30 PM!
Whoever it was, THANK YOU!

Cool but sunny. I met Cindy who asked if I was that amazing photographer she had heard about!
Another nice day to photograph the birds, two Merganser ducks appeared, I had not seen them in ages!
The breeze was out of the northeast which made it harder to paddle upstream but I got a free ride home!

Another wonderful day. I met more people today, and cleaned up things. Many feet of fish line, 4 lures, one chair, and a red float. I added the lures to my porch wall where I have a fish net hung and returned the red float and chair to a neighbor next to it. I got rare photos of birds with their meals!
March 10, 2024, another spectacular day! Perfect temperature, great paddling!
Not too many birds though, but one new one.
I went out the other day (March 8) and saw some great birds, only to get home and find out that I had not put the chip in the camera. No film, no photos..Â
Here are to ones for today (March 10):
March 7, 2024, one beautiful day! Tee shirt weather, lots of sun, little breeze, awesome!
I talked with Allan and Bob. I mentioned to Bob that the bird in front of his place was not normally here, I thought that it was a Loon. Bob asked where it was from. I said Maine. Bob said it must be hiding out from the wife!

Great photos! I love that you have descriptions or I wouldn’t know an Ibis from a blue heron.
