Kayaking the perimeter of Fords Bay on Barkley Lake with close encounters of Caspian Terns (3) and Spotted Sandpipers (2). White Pelicans (18) soared above for at least 10 minutes and disappeared. They seem to be around most any month of the year!! Tiger Swallowtails were everywhere, but the dragonflies far outnumbered any species. The spider lilies, mallows (maybe a swamp-rose, looks like a hibiscus) and a pinkish flower lined the shores . It was a wonderful day .
