September 14 Hike to Pout Ponds

Beaver Moon

The Farmer's Almanac says the November full moon is called the Beaver Moon because it was the time for trappers to set their last traps before the winter's freeze. 

 

Saw dozens of  long-tail ducks flying low,  first north,  then south.  White winged scoters on the water;  sanderlings still on the beach,  and many gulls,  including a Bonaparte's gull.   2 dozen seals on my walk to Low Beach...many right at Low Beach.
