What a beautiful morning out on the water. Josee is taking to kayaking like a pro.

First, we checked the eagle’s nest. At least one eaglet in there, screeching away at us. Then we saw two otters, popping their heads up, one, then the other, as curious about us as we were them. Then the loon called out from behind the island.

Another ten minutes and a trumpeter swan flew over, honking at us with his nasally squawk.

It doesn’t get any better than that.
