Monday Morning Walk

This morning I got up and walked to the lake. On my way to the lake I heard some Wilson’s warblers among other things singing. Later on I made it to the lake and walked out onto the peninsula. Descending from over by the trees on the other side of the lake a Tree swallow flew low over the water. This I was glad about because that meant I didn’t need to wait to see them. Out on the lake I saw a family of ducklings with their mother swimming across the lake. Down on the lower end of the lake I saw three Ring-necked ducks swimming across the the lake. On the peninsula were some Mallards, a flock of Greater-white fronted geese and a couple of Cackling geese. With that I started back towards the house. Right after I left the lake I smelled some wood smoke. I continued on down the road towards the house but I took a little detour and headed for the park. The tide was up when I got to the park so I walked through the woods. I got out to the end of the park and felt a slight breeze, I walked out onto the beach and down towards the river. Near the river I saw a couple Townsend’s warblers flying around in the low bushes. Going on up the trail I heard some Pacific-sloped flycatchers calling and singing, from there I happily walked home.
