New pictures from Joyce Rogers -

Diane Rossi has just relayed more pictures from Joyce, taken this morning. Diane wrote:

As we were out kayaking this morning, the guys doing Jane Milne's boathouse told us they saw a bear swimming across the pond, but we didn't know if we should believe them!! They said it went in somewhere near [Kyle] Brown's [on the east side of the pond] and came out by Wells' [on West Shore Road], which is just what Joyce's picture indicates. We were right in our kayaks, and we missed it!

I wonder if this is the same bear folks mentioned at the association meeting a couple weeks ago that has been seen on the rail trail. Maybe he's looking for more woods cover. I think Joyce is a magnet for wild life. Some folks never get to see anything like the deer earlier in the week and then the bear, and very few of us are quick enough with our camera to catch the action. Looks to me as if she must have been pretty darn close to that bear when she took the picture - or used zoom - and in any case, we know from experience it's hard to zoom in and be sure everything is in focus. Great shots, Joyce!

What do you suppose will be the next swimming wildlife - maybe a moose?
