The first workday morning paddle of 2014. Start delayed. Had to cut the lawn. Usually, I can leave it go from November to March, but it has been a mild and damp late fall/early winter.
Muscovy duck in the Fort Maitland Park lot, before setting out just before 8 AM
Lake Maitland
Brown pelican. Some day, I want to see a white pelican on my local lakes.
Pie billed grebe
Do I have to ID a female anhinga? If so, welcome new viewer.
Lake Nina wood ducks
To Lake Minnehaha
Coot
Cormorants
Back on Lake Maitland, I paddled out to Dog Island
Wondering where the large flocks of birds I've seen on Lake Maitland my last 3 visits might be today.
They were not at Dog Island.
They were back where I had come from. Low flying cormorants, perhaps the raft I saw on Lake Minnehaha, great egrets above them, a few osprey higher up still. Alas, by the time I got to the other side of the Lake, they were gone.
Landed at 10:45
