Well the winds of change have definitely arrived at Happy Camp! Hi Folks, as summer quickly left, we have been greeted with more rain, rain, wind and chilly temperatures! The dock will need to be moved back in as today Magoo and I watched the water level rise. It will come into shore for the last time in 2013! While water levels are nearing spring levels, the water temperatures are quickly receding and fish are disoriented! The fish should set up soon in their traditional fall spots and patterns should follow.
Birds continue to migrate through, Bluebirds, Flickers and the first Canada Geese were seen flying south today from their summer homes on James Bay! Unfortunately they have not stopped for a drink, Magoo and I can only wish they will! In addition, there was an odd brown bird sitting on the fish shack this afternoon. It was the size of a bluebird, but was white with brown wings, a grayish bill and its head was striped with brown and white. While quite different looking, he was a handsome fellow that is for sure.
Duck season opened this week as well as Grouse! While the leaves are changing quickly, they still are hanging on strong making visibility an issue. As I write, the clouds have cleared out and it should be cold tonight, another frost might bring some leaves down, only time will tell.
In our travels today we noticed quite a few Mountain Ash berries, I wonder if their are any recipes for them? If anyone has any, please shoot us an email so we can check it out!
As always, thanks for finding your way to Happy Camp in 2013, take care and until next week, Come on and Catch the Good Life with us in beautiful northern Ontario at Happy Camp!!
Oops, forgot to mention, Go Pack GO!!!
