Howdy All! =20

I took a stroll around the lake trail this afternoon getting ready for a
hike that I'll be doing this weekend. Yes, of course, I took my
binoculars. I had a surprising 37 species. The highlight was a lone
Greater Scaup diving near the lighted pier. The lake had the usual
Coots, Pied-bills, Ring-billed and Ruddy Ducks. I unintentionally
"chased" a Belted Kingfisher around the lake. There were several flocks
of small birds like chickadees and titmice. Both species of Kinglets
were easy to find as were Brown Creepers. I wish I had more time to
spend on the dam. There was a lot moving around in the tall grass and
shrubs but all I could make out were Song Sparrows and Cardinals. This
is the area where I had a LeConte's Sparrow a few weeks ago. All three
Nuthatches were in the playground area. =20
