Blackwater Creek, Lake Norris

The touchdown tree.

 On Blackwater Creek at 8:17

 Blue herom

 Into Lake Norris

 Great egrets, along with osprey, are nesting

 Camp Lo Che Na.  Boy Scouts

 Got out of the kayak, thinking this may be a spring run.  Inconclusive

Too far from where Lo Che Na spring is said to be

 Belted kingfisher

 Duck blind?

 Alligator

 Back into Blackwater Creek

 Had to get the barred owl's attention

 Paddled past the Creek Not Passable, sign.

 OK, this is not passable

 Landed at 12:56

 I always try to sign the sign in sheet.  Give the powers that be an idea of how many people use the Lake Norris Conservation Area.  Due to Covid 19, I was not going to sign in today.  Looks like the powers that be, agreed. No sheet of paper and pen on the clipboard.

 Went for a walk

Used my hat and foot to open and close the cattle gate.
