We were hoping the sun would come out today. It has been raining off and on for several days. Although cloudy, the forecast is for scattered showers. Because of the possibility of rain and also the need of some supplies from Fleet Farm we decide to go back to Gerber. When we get there we are surprised to see that the lake has intruded into the turnaround area. It is the highest I have ever seen the water level and also the muddiest. Because of the cloudy water the fishing was also the worst I have seen it. That didn’t stop us from having fun. We knew that the river was going to be high so we went back there right away. In spite of how cloudy the lake was the river was crystal clear and the bottom had apparently been scoured clear by the high water. We saw lots of fish, most in the six to ten inch category. When we got to the bridge we decided to go under it in spite of the narrow passage due to the high water. We thought that maybe we would be able to go further downstream than ever before. Unfortunately, we were not able to get much further than before. When I was coming back under the bridge I happened to look over and saw a nest full of baby birds and I mean full. The parents were quite upset with our being there. There were few shorebirds for Eileen to photograph so she spent her time stalking flowers. There were irises and water lilies everywhere. It stayed cloudy all day but never did rain. Wednesday we are off to Hingham.

I love that you stopped under the bridge to snap a shot of the birds! :)
