I went out on our small reservoir today. It was like glass. I paddled around and saw 3 owl children. They were out of the nest on a limb. Then there were the cormorant nests--eggs haven't yet hatched. I also saw about 20 deer, several ospreys, a pair of mallards, some coots, 3 pelicans, and a few magpies. Then on the way back toward the launching area, I saw a Baltimore oriole. He was gorgeous. I think that's only about the 2nd one I've ever seen in my whole juicy life.
