Two misty mornings, two kayaks and our three Loons …
Fall brings mist and fog to the Pleasant Lake. Today we will share two mornings where we and our Loons had the lake to ourselves.
Dealing With Change Continued
Fall color is at its peak around the lake. This view is from the mouth of Turtle Cove. In this issue we continue to look at how some animals in the watershed are preparing to get through the winter ahead.
Dealing with Change
Pearl and at least one of her parents are still on the lake. Getting out for photos is harder now but we hope to have some by the next Newsletter. This is the time of year the male may be ready to leave for the ocean.

Loons, Monarch Update and New Arrivals
Still spending a lot of time on her own, Pearl is now diving for more than 2 minutes at a time and looking quite the beautiful young loon! She is still begging from and being fed by her mom.
