You know summer has arrived when you go from shade to shade as you walk around the lake. That's what we did today....
There wasn't anything new today, but it was very birdy. We saw a total of 44 species. The cliff swallows were noticeably absent. We only saw one instead of 50, so they must be done nesting. We did find a black-chinned hummingbird on a nest, which is always exciting, but we didn't see the calliope today. There was one osprey, a double-crested cormorant and a great blue heron. A pied-billed grebe was hiding in the logs along the east shore, and there were a few mallards and the canada goose family. We got good looks at a very noisy yellow-breasted chat. Another good day of birding! Ginger
