Big Mama out for a stroll past. She has been around for a long time & getting slower. She pays no attention to either me or the dog...Good to see she is still around & residing in my bay. (She used to reside in the main lodge at the far end of the little lake.Several years back she decided to move down to this end..which is fine by me...She's safer here).She hasn't done any major 'logging' anymore...satisfied with the many tiger alders in the wetland area, & I'm happy to see her cut 'em down,because they sure do tend to take over otherwise!!

Not the best photo, but I didn't want to spook them back into the main lake area. They were having so much fun diving it was hard to get photos anyways. These 2 juveniles that hatched in my bay have now moved in much closer, into the sheltered part, which is good...hunting season will be starting soon, & they will be safer here. This was the 1st yr for Grebe's on my little lake, sooo happy to see 2 pairs having successfully hatched & raised their broods! Hoping they will all return next year!
