Mud Lake

April 10, 2018

With all the cold weather, migration is stalled, although we did see a few song sparrows.  

The edge of the lake is opening up and the Canada Geese, Wood Ducks and Mallards were taking full advantage.  There was quite a bit of pushing and shoving going on among the ducks.

We hiked down the trail along Mud Lake and ran into Henk.  He offered to take us to a tree with a roosting Screech Owl, so we gratefully accepted.

 Later, we hiked the ridge hoping to find the Cardinal that will feed from the hand.  The ones we saw were too shy, but not a Downy Woodpecker, White-breasted Nuthatch nor Black-capped Chickadee.  A good day.
