During the afternoon yesterday, the sun peeked through the clouds for a few minutes. This morning I walked down to the lake to watch the sunrise. I surprised a great blue heron fishing in the shallows. Three pelicans flew in and two lazy martins slept on the poles holding the dock in place.
This afternoon, we went for a walk on the trails but decided to give up on that idea as the mosquitoes and bugs were crawling all over me and biting me mercilessly. We walked down to the lake and watched martins catch bugs. After what the bugs did to me, that only seemed fair.
There are two families of geese with a total of about 20 goslings. One of the adults was managing a parents' afternoon out. It was watching all the goslings alone. To tell the truth, the goslings were all well behaved and the adult was extremely vigilant. We also saw turtles poking their heads above the water. It looked as if they wanted to snap at the martins that were skimming the water surface as they cought bugs.
