I was a Musick's Campground about an hour behind Rick Knight. He had called and filled me in on the good finds. By the time I arrived, the overcast had cleared, it was sunny, hot, the boaters and jet skis were at it. People were out on the ramp and launching boats. None of the birds Rick saw could be located. Three Double-crested Cormorants were in the Spring Creek Embayment. So were a ton of Canada Geese. Let's go birding.....
