A better day

A better day today, so we headed out on the water....


headed over towards Eagle Point park first....


hmmm  won't be using the viewing platform anytime soon.


or the bench!


saw this male Black-headed Grosbeak....


there was still a lot of activity around swallow nesting boxes, including seeing these two Tree Swallow fledglings perched on the edge of one with no roof.  For some reason, most of them are without roofs...


there were a few Purple Martin - nothing like the numbers we've had the last few years but at least there are some.


heading out across the water we spotted something in the distance - middle of the picture...


turned out to be a mother and baby seal!  We've seen seal before, but never with a baby.


it is worth a second look.


saw a few Bald Eagles including this guy...


very few Canada Geese - these two were in a group of five. The only duck was one spooky Wood Duck.  A couple of Common Loon were way out and could hear Pied Bill Grebe.  


So much water right now that it is hard to tell what is river!
