So next week my kids and I will be busy with summer stuff. I decided to go to WRL for a ride. I wanted to see if I could do two rounds around the lake( 9 miles around).
Yesterday I went for a ride at WRL and there was debris in several spots across the trail. I hoped they had cleared the paths today. I left at 4 pm and am glad I did because halfway through the ride the rain came down.
I saw kingbirds at the start of my ride. They were large and yellow and looked more like flycatchers. I did not have my camera with me which as it turned out was good. The rain came down. All I saw was one lone great egret surrounded by mounds of trash. I know it was raining water but it seemed like it also rained trash down. There was serious stinking trash everywhere.
It was very sad and stinky. It was very dark and gray and the water looked very gray and dark. The think was though it cleared all the walkers and dog walkers on the trail so I was able to get away with saying 'on your left' only five times or so rather than the usual five thousand times that I did yesterday.
Anyway i finished only one round because the binoculars even in my bag were not too dry and I did not want to stay when it was so dark. Well surprise halfway home the sun came down and I could have finished another round.
Anyway not much in the way of birdwatching but I had a great time biking because it was so quiet and not crowded.
At sunset bay all the birds and ducks and geese came out of the water and were blocking my path. I would rather ducks block me than people with dogs on leashes. All in all I am glad I had a great time.
