Lake Pix 8-22-15

I had a quick overnight at the lake--Andy and David and Ellen were there longer. Before I got there,  Andy and David took pictures of one of the adult eagles eating on a branch just at the front porch:

Looking very noble, but really making sure no one is going to grab her fish.

My personal wild bird adventure yesterday came  when I was lying on the dock and heard a noise, sat up, and a four foot tall Great Blue heron was on the other end of the dock (the land end) just about two feet from my feet.  I squealed and it was mildly startled, but walked away, up near the boats. So far this year no bats or great northern water snakes.
