On Friday September 24th we borrowed a kayak from our friend Doug for our daughter Erin to use. We took her to Stewart Pond. We were hoping to be able to show her the bald eagle that we had seen earlier in the summer. we set off with high hopes. The weather was beautiful, so no matter what, it was going to be a good paddle.
We paddled out to the point where we had seen the eagle before. We looked carefully in the trees and on the ground. We didn't see the eagle, so we continued toward the dam. The trees were beautiful. There were many that were near peak color.
We had the lake to ourselves. It was great. No boats or waves to contend with! We had a nice leisurly paddle. We searched for the eagle again on our way back to the launch. I guess we were there at the wrong time of day. No eagle sighting. :-(
When we got back to the launch we sat and had some lunch. Erin had fun feeding a squirrel. He ate one piece of bread and then hid one piece of bread up in a tree. After lunch we headed back home. We had a nice day with Erin. It's nice when the kids want to spend the day with us on the water!
