I launched my kayak at Viking Park just off Hwy N and paddled upstream.
There were the expected mallards and Canada geese, barn swallows under
the bridge and tree swallows swooping over the open water.
As I was turning the first major bend six white pelicans flew over.
Before they were out of sight I spotted a pair of mute swans. A pair of
Muscovy ducks had what looked like a nest on the edge of a cattail bed.
Great blue herons did fly-overs twice. I heard sandhill cranes calling,
and a pair flew by me on my way back.
It was a good day to be on the water.
This is a map of my route:
