We crossed the watershed line a few times on our journey
We saw Bald Eagles, a Golden Eagle, several species of hawk or bird of prey as my wife calls them. We saw a Piliated Woodpecker, Cormorants, Wood Ducks, Mallards, Grebes, Mergansers and several unknowns...next time we will bring our field books and binocs!
We found and saw every type of rock....every shape and every color. From Red Rock to Granite to quartz, and all sorts of combinations and permutations. We saw the red ochre and blue, purple, yellow, white black and others. Big rocks, small rocks...rocks everywhere!
We saw 10 bear. Twice we saw momma and two cubs. All they way across our journey from Red Lake to Temagami...bears in the bush and on the sides of the road. These two cubs were not very fast getting off the road. Momma was in the ditch and she said something which caused then to snap to attention.
Here is a closer shot. They seamed pretty leisurely until momma spoke!
Trees...trees..Jack Pines, red pine, white pine, black spruce, red spruce, cedar, tamaracks, birch, alder poplar, and a few maples, and oaks. These are the logs brought downstream from spring thaw. They rotated in this big pool endlessly, like a giant toilet that never flushes
We saw about 8 moose, 8 or so deer, a red fox, a grey fox
What an incedible blessing it is to live in such a beautiful place. We truly live in paradise!
Amazing!
