The East Track Beaver Pond of The Vermilon River.

Beaver Pond with Mist Rising.
This hike is in effect a continuation of my previous post as the Beaver Pond is on the east track. But in this section of the abandoned track,only the graveled roadbed remains. I was early and the mist is still rising. You'll notice when it clears. Not all the photos are from this hike. Click on a photo and it'll turn into a slide show. Just a note: I'm not sure whether the Ducks are Ring-necked or Scaup. I'll do some more checking. But whatever it's is a first for me. AN ADDITION: I got a confirmation from Michael at NWO Birds of the ducks as Ring-necked.Wowee!!! rare for the area.

    So many great images of wildlife in a natural setting … but I was most impressed by the clarity of the wonderful web draped on the branches of a tree. :)

    Beautiful photo's as usual, I love the spiders web, they look fantastic covered in dew or frost. Your hikes seem to be taking a rather wet aspect now! One question, about Boomer, does he have to wear that muzzle all the time? I hope not.
