02/06/2005 - Augusta Canal
We paddled the Augusta Canal from the headwaters at the Columbia County Pavilion down to Lake Olmstead. It was a nice afternoon with the temperature in the 60s. Our variously colored watercraft made a very colorful flotilla. Lots of turtles were out sunning and seemed reluctant to drop back into the cold water. We also saw Wood Ducks, Great Blue Herons, Cormorants, Kingfishers, a fish sunning above a log, and an opossum. The red maples were blooming and Mistletoe still had berries.
