Swimming This Year On Lake Clear

3/5/2022

Submitted by Cheryl Rae

All the beautiful pictures on the website, I thought I'd share mine...........

I have been swimming on Lake Clear since 1983, this summer was the first time I did not go in, such a waste of a beautiful summer. I am on the Kilby shore side and have never experience this. It was such a shame that my grandson could not go swimming. He did however have fun throwing our rubber snakes into the water off the dock, when I retrieved them with long tongs out of the water they were completely covered in mussels!

Cheers to the summer of 2022!

The mean cottager who tells people not to park on my shoreline!

Rare Discovery....Red Necked Grebe

3/2/2022

Here is a feel good story.

While snowmobiling along Shepherd's Way, Danny Felhaber noticed a dark lump in the snow that looked odd. On further inspection he discovered it to be a water bird he had never seen before. He took it to our resident bird expert and was told it was a juvenile Red Necked Grebe. Definitely rare for around here and definitely rare for this time of year with no open water to hunt in.

Tammy called the Bird Sanctuary in Ottawa and they said to bring it in. They will check it out and release it if possible. There was nothing the matter with its appetite, as it ate a dozen of Danny's minnows.

It is the consensus that it got blown in our direction from the strong winds we had the day before, possibly from the Ottawa River.
