Kayaking on Grafton Pond
<Japanese version is after English: 日本語は英語の後にあります>
We went kayaking on Grafton Pond in New Hampshire.
The highlight of this kayaking was baby loons!
Activity log
This lake has nests of loons and it is protected well. Some portion of the pond is prohibited from entering by kayaking or boats. There is a lake host sitting on the boat launching area and she was checking everyone's kayak, canoe, or boat and making sure any residue from previous activity is contaminating into the pond. To be honest, we thought at first "dammit they are collecting money", but turned out to be free.
The entire kayaking was about 5 miles. I recorded 2 miles of the kayaking. The word, pond sounds small, but actually this pond is big. Some local people came here for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. Some people are laying down on the shore to tan and chat.
When we started kayaking, the lake host said that three baby loons
were hatched a week before. I was excited about seeing baby loon on
mother's back.
The baby loons we saw were probably different
ones who were born last week, because they were already swimming.
However, they were with still fluffy puffy fur. Two adults and two
babies were swimming together.
The babies are cute! Probably a little too big to be on mother's back.
Someday I really want to see little babies on mother loon back.
