If there are this many opportunistic birds of all kinds down here, I wonder what in the world it must be like down at the dam! A few minutes ago, I counted at least five egrets, three great blue herons, many small birds all enjoying whatever bounty they can capture in these mats.
I will be going near the state park tonight, and I bet the water there is clear compared to this end of the lake. Location, location,location as they say!
Even though I took this from my garden, it could belong equally to the land at Cache and Copsey. We startled a lot of big hunting birds when we went over to clear brush. 104o, not a great idea.
