View By the River

When Terry and I recently went to the Miller's Oven in Manotick, we also wandered towards the river and the mill.

We wanted to see if Canada Geese were again nesting on the cliff - where we had noticed them before.

Yes! The male was strutting about, on guard...

While the female was just sitting there.

I didn't go close enough to see if the female had eggs in the nest  - but I assumed that no eggs had hatched. The birds weren't as aggressively protective as they are when they have their young.

We then went over to check out the dam. It was totally open... Lots of water rushing through with all the melting snow.
