The kids and I went out to the lake for a quick look. I wanted them to see the Osprey before they left and we did get to see it. Some of us even saw it dive down to nab a fish!
We also saw many of the Yellow-rumped Warblers that are passing through the area. They are headed north, so we only have a short time to see them.
While we were standing on the bridge, the Purple Martins were hovering over us only 2 feet above our heads. They were so pretty!
There were other birds there too: Ring-billed Gulls, Tree and Barn Swallows, Blue-winged Teal, Double-crested Cormorants, Great Blue Heron, Yellow-headed and Red-winged Blackbirds, and many others. It seems like sometimes a person sees more birds on a misty or rainy day.

| The Yellow-rumped Warblers are not so afraid of people and the kids were able to get close to them. |

| Uh-oh! What happened to the Canada Goose's nest? This doesn't look good. |
