That kind of money will seriously cramp my style as far as traveling is concerned. I&#8217;m guessing it&#8217;s much worse for people who don&#8217;t have any choice but to drive.<\/p>\n<p>Bird-wise it&#8217;s been pretty good. Lots of Swans and Ducks, including the Long Tails, Ring Necked,\u00a0 Gadwalls and Wood Ducks.\u00a0 A couple of Trumpeter Swans have appeared occasionally.\u00a0 Bald Eagles\u00a0 are appearing and I saw the season&#8217;s first\u00a0 Osprey yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>The warblers are coming!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_46224\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a
