What's going on in the river?
The Spring Foliage is beautiful. The leaves are almost to their full summer fullness. We got all three Mother's Day cruises off. Not a bad day, still a little chilly on the river, but, we had fun and a lot of Mom's! The Bridge Osprey Mom was just visible. Saw many Ospreys, a Bald Eagle, other birds and the BEST was a male Bufflehead (thanks to a young spotter, I would have missed it!). We only saw one this season, in the winter. They nest in Canada. See "Photo of the Day" below for the cutest picture ever! There was a male Mallard and the male bufflehead were hanging out together. Maybe they are both waiting for babies......hmmmmmmm, would that be cool!?!
NEST UPDATES:
