25th March 2010

I'm in there somewhere :)  (click to enlarge)

Temperatures have returned to normal for March and we have had two days of snow and freezing rain.  Melting process has slowed and although there are open patches of water, there is little ice movement.
An up date as 1800 hr. a report of channel open from Clearwater to Rocky Brook and a good portion of the ice has moved out through Hickey Pool down river from Porter Cove Bridge.

On the critter side:

We watched a house cat and otter stare each other down on the river ice, both finally went their seperate ways which was probably a good thing for the cat.  Dozens of robins on the river ice eating sap flies I presume. A visitng eagle drops by daily to lunch on some unfortunate critter  (probably a deer)   who didn't make it through the winter and whose remains are on the ice.

Our cottage bookings are picking up, check our calendar for available dates.
