Melissa, Roseanna and I spent a few days birding, camping and kayaking around the LBL area 9/18-20. We had fantastic weather and nice pockets of migrants as we paddled the Taylor Bay area. We also spent time at Jonathan Creek and Mitchell Lake. The short duck season had started so bird were disturbed at Mitchell Lake.
