Chicks




 My new kayak  has been launched!  It was so upsetting to have my trusty Walden stolen from Polpis Harbor in late October. I had to replace it.  So now the Eddyline Skylark 12 has been exploring Polpis.


On our first voyage on July 1 ,  Josh and I heard the elusive Clapper Rail in the Pocomo Meadow.  Others had heard (and seen it) at the UMass Field Station. 

The Oystercatchers are nesting in their  usual spot across from Quaise Point, and  it was a treat to see one of the chicks take flight on July 7.  I am learning to  balance the kayak and my  Canon R5 with 400 mm lens which is normally in  my dry bag!

Piping plover chicks abound at Madaket (June 29)  and Eel Point (June 26).  I just haven't been to Great Point to count the numbers there!



Stay away from my chicks!
