Heron Pond: Contemplation
Heron Pond: Contemplation

We were up early today for a long, chilly, dark (Dad brings a powerful flashlight and his pellet gun (which he's never needed to use) for these now rare, early morning excursions) walk to the Heron Pond, our name for this diverse aquatic environment in the boggy lowlands tucked alongside the Prescott-Russell Trail between Ottawa and Navan, where several species of heron, duck, and other assorted birds abound.
We were also pleased to see that beaver still roam the pond. The head of one swimming in the channel at lower left can be seen here, and he was so quiet I didn't notice it until it turned back up the channel and swam right in front of me!
Check our second photo to see the reaction when we both saw each other for the first time.
