The land still hasn't awakened for Spring. We took off for a drive. This is part 2.
(Day Trip Sat., Apr. 7th Perth => Canoe Lake Rd. part 1)
The lakes are slowly melting, the rivers are flowing. It is a beautiful to see the deep, dark blue of the water. Soon, we landed in Hartington, and met some birds. Finally! I include the map, as we may want to find this place again.
Don't laugh, but we've been looking for the spot where we found river otters several years ago for several years.
This is where it got interesting...
There were male and female mergansers, bufflehead, and another species, which I didn't recognize.

We used to have these on our lakefront, when we lived in Bala (2006 – 2010). Mergansers and Goldeye, Buffleheads, all cold water ducks that visit in early spring, on their way to the far north to breed.
