5/7/05 – A beautiful, warm evening lured Molly, visiting crew member Pat Nash, and I out for an evening paddle. We paddled past the pair of loons that make south Sawbill Lake their home, saw three bufflehead ducks in Alton pond, also a sharp-shinned hawk, turkey vulture, and bald eagle. – Bill

This pair of loons live within sight of the Sawbill Lake canoe landing.

Molly watches some of the abundant bird life.

Pat listens to the beautiful music of crystal clear Alton Creek.
