Canoeing, portaging and camping for extended periods in central and northern Saskatchewan, Canada.
Central Saskatchewan 2016 Camp 1 (May 9 - 13)
Camp 1, about 13 km from my starting point.
A common merganser nest about 100 metres from shore but very close to my tent. While fetching firewood I surprised the hen. Afterwards, I avoided her area hoping she would not abandon the eggs.
Weather turned cold and snowy so I erected the canvas tent.
