We had a morning break at Bill and Penny Kasdorf's house on Lake Sophia. Bill had the outdoor fireplace going. It was a great time to warm-up, have some snacks and count the ducks on the lake. My priorities were fireplace and snacks. Surprised? I thought not!
We had lunch at Cranfords' - a local grocery store that also has a sandwich bar. It's convenient since their eating area has windows on two sides. You can eat and continue to look for birds. Here I am looking for birds during lunch. Don't I look like a "bird geek"? Looks can be deceiving.
John Taylor got many good bird pictures during the day. Here's a picture of a red tail hawk in flight.
We started at 7:30 am and finished at 5:15 pm (it was getting too dark to see birds). As a team we saw 60 different bird species (an excellent day) and a total of 614 birds. Thanks to Carolyn and the entire team for a great day!
