This past Wednesday I spent over in New Hampshire at Umbagog NWR. It's a 7 mile long lake, on the border of Maine and New Hampshire and is over 7,000 acres. But just 15 feet deep
Excellent bird habitat, and from the looks of things the fishing should be good.
Water lilies,bladderwort,a couple of eagles, fish, some sharp-shinned hawks, a merlin or two, throw in a few loons and you have a good idea what the refuge is like. Migrants are already streaming through the area. Whirligig beetles were rafted up in the thousands. It's hard to sit and write about someplace like this. A thousand images and experiences are going through my mind, and all I want to do is to go back.The Refuge is in the process of doing surveys on what inhabits the area. Makes me want to go back over and help out, and I may just go back to see if I can. It's not far.
I know they have at least two Green Frogs (Rana clamitans).

Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias)After a dinner in Errol, it was time to go home and stop briefly at Cupsuptic River to watch the moon and sunset.
