Bald Eagle on Squam Lake
On May 2nd, Iain MacLeod, Executive Director of the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, scoped the Little Loon eagle nest from Rockywold and confirmed a hatch. He reported that he could see an adult tearing up prey and offering morsels to unseen chick (or chicks). He guessed that they would have hatched within the last week or so.
While watching the eagles, he also spotted a pair of Merlins courting at the end of Deephaven point, about a quarter of a mile from where they nested in 2009 and 2010 and closer to where they nested in 2008.

More Squam Ice Out
Here are some more photographs of the ice going out on Squam. Notice how much the view from Deep Main Dock changed since yesterday!

Squam Ice Going Out
-
- This is where the Peter Pan dock goes – this protected cove doesn’t get much sun this time of year so still icy.
-
- Rockywold Main Dock view south – plenty of ice, but I heard it’s a lot less than yesterday! The lake water level is right to the top edge of the dock.
-
- If the Morningside dock was in, this is where it would be – almost ice free!
-
- Deephaven Main Dock view towards the west – some ice & snow still in sight
-
- View of the Bight from Deephaven Main Dock towards the north and Rattlesnake Mountain – looks like Deephaven is winning the ice -out race!

View from Rattlesnake
I hiked Rattlesnake yesterday and took some photos of the “ice status” in our area.
Some open water around Five Finger Point! Nice break headed towards Deephaven.
A little opening up at the end of the bight.
Another view of the break from Five Finger Point to Deephaven’s eastern shore. Still plenty of ice out there!

Sugaring Season
In celebration of sugaring season, I took some photographs of the Rockywold Sugarbush and the old Sugar House. It is starting to feel like spring in New Hampshire.

RDC Former Staff and Current Shareholders,
We are trying to get the word out about a special discounted week for former Rockywold-Deephaven Camps staff and current shareholders. We would appreciate it if you could share this post with any former staff that you are still in contact with. Please check out the details below. Thanks for your help with this! We hope to see you here this summer!
Sincerely,
John & Kathy
RDC Staff and Shareholder Appreciation Week
During the week prior to Labor Day (August 27 to September 2), a 20% discounted week, former RDC staff and current RDC shareholders will receive an additional 20% off of their stay. That is a total discount of 40%!
In recent years, occupancy during this week has fallen due to a change in school calendars. In an effort to increase occupancy during this quiet week, we are offering a significant discount to the folks that have contributed to RDC’s success over the years. We sincerely hope you will be able to take advantage of this opportunity.
