We had a bright day of sunshine with a light breeze and plenty of birds.<\/p>\n<p>We were met by an Eagle, a relatively rare species at the lake, then Ring Necks and Pied Billed Grebes. Geese, Mallards and Wood Ducks followed. My first good Junco of the season will please my sister.<\/p>\n<p>I made a brief stop at Quiet Waters in the afternoon and found a nice Pileated Woodpecker.<\/p>\n<p>Spring is coming soon!<\/p>\n<div
