Morning Walk

This morning I headed to the lake. I walked to the lake in the clean morning air. I got to the lake and saw that there were some swallows flying around as well as some waterfowl on the peninsula. I walked out onto the peninsula and watched the swallows flying around. After a few minutes of watching them I saw the Northern rough-winged and Cliff swallow, only one of each this time though. While I was there I heard a Wilson’s warbler singing. After I was at the lake for about a half hour I walked down to the park. I got out to the end of the park and saw a Whimbrel flying away. I walked out onto the beach and saw a group of sandpipers I looked through the group of sandpipers and  Semipalmated plovers and saw that there were a couple of Semipalmated sandpipers in with the Western and Least sandpipers. I let dad know then I waited out there on the very windy, and cold beach watching the sandpipers. While I was there I saw three Hudsonian godwits fly in and land further down the beach. Rowan and dad got down there and saw the Semipalmated sandpipers. I walked down the beach excitedly to see if I could find a Glaucous gull. I did not find any Glaucous gulls so I walked up to the top of the beach and watched the dowitchers picking around in the seaweed at the top of the beach. I saw there and watched them for a bit then they flew and I walked up and watched warblers with Rowan and dad. After I had watched them for a bit I walked home. On my way home I smelled Skunk cabbage.
