We’re headed to Rait Narrows this morning. It’s been several years since we’ve been to Rait, and since I’ve never paddled there, we’re going to check it out. Rait Narrows never impressed me before, but then I’d never seen it from a kayak.
Since I’d never been back in the lagoon, that’s what I wanted to check out first. I found the lagoon to be bigger than I thought it would be, with several good sized waterfalls in different coves.
This eagle wasn’t too happy with my presence.
I spotted some Hooded Mergansers in the lagoon, but couldn’t get close enough for a good shot. So, I left the lagoon and checked out the shoreline of the South Cove. There are several little coves within South Cove.
While checking out some rocks…..
……….I almost paddled right into this giant spider web.
I discovered a little lagoon and decided to check it out while there was still enough water to get through the entrance.
This is obviously a great place for clamming.
Thick, luxurious moss covered many of the trees. Trees like this would be the perfect nesting spot of Murrelets.
