Kayaking Adventures

July 2021

I went out kayaking with my Aunt Barb. We headed to Laurie Lake in the Duck Mountain Provincial Park.  We had a perfect afternoon with cloudy weather so we weren't too hot and very little boat traffic. We spent 2 hours paddling around. We watched the loons as there were 6 adults and it seemed that one was a pair and they were defending their territory and chasing the others away.  We didn't see any chicks though. They were calling and dancing and flapping their wings. It was interesting to watch. We also saw 3 baby terns that were just little grey fluff balls. Their parent's dive bombed our heads until we paddled away. We also saw the beaver as she swam right up to us and then smacked down her tail in warning!
