“I’m remembering the delight of our recent Monday morning visit to Carpenter Lake. At Cindi’s urging, I took photos of a couple of notable things we were discussing. We were taken by the swallows’ activities, which are usually noted to nest in structures. Here, it appeared they had created a multi-story condominium in a tree snag near the lake. I can verify that I watched one go in and come out of a tree hole.”

“While we most typically see violet-green and barn swallows along the Carpenter Lake Trail, the swallows pictured show the features of tree swallows - the eye has no white above it and there do not seem to be white “saddles” wrapping around from the belly to the upper side.”

"It's always exciting to see all the Labrador tea plants in bloom. Joleen is the one who introduced me to them years ago - part of what makes Carpenter Lake so special."
