This morning made for a nice hike. Very few sunny weekend days the last month or so ! Approaching the reservoir an immature eagle was sitting on the ice water edge with a immature eagle roosting several hundred yards away on the opposite side of the cove.

A handful of  Common Merganser flew as I approached the open water.

The hint of spring was ever so slight with ice receding on a edge of the swamps.
Beavers have been at work...

Won't take much to finish this tree.
Sitting high on a ridge over looking a two acre swamp, I was entertained watching a fisher work the area in pursuit of a meal. It's head would look into every crevice and hole.What I was surprised to see is the fisher slip into the water and swim  like an otter for  30 or 40 yards .
I am reading a book called the Wolverine Way by Douglas Chadwick. The fisher and wolverine both come from the  Mustelidae Family. Many similarities with the fisher ( on a much smaller scale)
