Sheltered along the south shore, the lake was pristine.\u00a0 Calm, with sunshine and even some blue sky poking out.\u00a0 It was so nice, we floated past our launch point to check out the point just across from Black Fox Island, where it\u2019s a bit of a bird sanctuary.\u00a0 We saw grebes, black winged black birds, ducks, and could hear an orchestra in the grass and trees.\u00a0 Peacefully floating along the shore, the Merlin app gave us an impressive variety of birds near us.   (You can see the smoke came and went through the day). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex

That\u2019s when Jen noticed something out in the water\u20262 things, in fact, swimming from the island.\u00a0 Holy cow! Literally lol!\u00a0 It was a cow moose and her baby.\u00a0 We quietly watched as they came ashore, what an amazing thing to see\u2026how lucky.\u00a0 Once they came out of the water, we couldn\u2019t see them any longer, so decided to try to peak around the point to get a glimpse. \u00a0 The mom was in the trees, and the very small calf was on shore making soft noises.\u00a0 Not to cause more distress, we turned back and headed for the truck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-9 is-layout-flex
