p.1 #1 · Oakland Lake area back in April

Back in April I was following a Great Horned Owl's nest near Oakland Lake. When the owlet went to sleep I took a walk around the lake. The variety seen in this set is some of what I saw and was taken in about an hour. This shows why the lake is such a popular place for birders. The osprey images were a grab shot as I was photographing swallows and saw something out of the corner of my eye and quickly reframed.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris
