Spent the morning kayaking around French Pond in North Haverhill. There was
an osprey fishing throughout the morning. He was coming and going to the
south of the lake. There's a high-tension power line there, that would be a
logical place to look for a nest. 

 

Also around the pond was a pair of loons, a single great blue heron, a pair
of wood ducks, lots of red-winged blackbirds, grackles, kingbirds and
sparrows. There was a woodpecker working loudly, but couldn't find him. Also
heard what I think was a cuckoo. There is a new beaver lodge and a couple
guinea pig-sized beaver kits patrolling the swamp. While I was sitting
looking for the woodpecker, a pair of does came down to the shore for a
drink - about 25' from me. Didn't dare raise the camera, but spent several
minutes enjoying their company.
