Gaggles of geese and nesting loons on the Otonabee River

Published by Drew Monkman on

I spotted the geese and loons while driving on River Rd.N. between Locks 23 & 24, the morning of June 21st. Beautiful site to behold. The ice and high water levels earlier this spring displaced clumps of natural vegetation. The loons are making good use of some of these.
