Same lake. A last visit for the season with Barb and Henry (and Willow and Bailey); they left for Canada this morning. Jay and Karen, the park owners, got a couple two inch pumps going and pumped water out of the park all day long. Took a drive and a walk. Found a cloud of hawks (and a turkey vulture), kettled-up, working their way north. Alex went to the Gymnastics Regionals at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs today. Four states participating. He scored 5th all-around. Great job Alex! Retired to the swimming pool about 6. When you’re birding without optics, it’s called bare-naked birding. Bare-naked, no binoculars, no camera, we got a flyover of Mississippi Kites settling down for the night. It looks like the lake level has fallen several inches by dark.
