It’s mating season for many of our Lake Ashton flocks of birds and water fowl – from the tiny shore birds like Kildeer to the larger Sandhill Cranes and Great Blue Herons. We even had a Great Horned Owl nesting in 14th green wooded area and we caught a glimpse of a Bald Eagle surveying the marina area. I’m testing this new format. I hope it looks good.

That’s a lot of winged creatures. Never a dull moment here. It keeps us smiling – and it’s life affirming in a time of disease and dismay. I hope these pics cheer you up too.
Hugs to all – Kathleen
