Mallards and Canada Geese make up the rest of the lake birds. The usual Blackbirds, Cardinals and other passerines make up the rest in the warm months.<\/p>\n<p>On most days I circle the lake clockwise from the parking lot, usually pausing to try for a sunrise image at the North end of the Lake. I walk from the parking lot to the end of the trail in darkness, accompanied by birdsong. Cardinals, Chats and Mallards are noisy at this time.<\/p>\n<p>When I figure out where the birds are congregating,\u00a0 I move to the location and start taking pictures. I&#8217;ve been using a tripod lately to\u00a0 get better shots and perhaps get a video or two. When the Swallows are active, I&#8217;ll stop on the entrance road to try for a flight shot.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=43750\" rel=\"attachment
