The mornings have been cool and it hasn't turned hot until today which has made walks very pleasant.
We've had a very wet spring and only sporadic days where the temperatures have reached into the hot category which has left everything looking very lush and green.
I was surprised to see a cormorant at Shelly Lake since they usually go somewhere else in the spring and return in the fall.
The gulls are all gone as they do every spring and return in the winter.
There are other lakes in my town and the surrounding area that have gulls in the summer so I assume they prefer other places to breed.
One thing I miss about working from home was it was easier for me to work walks in.
This picnic table would normally be on dry land but there are many signs of flooding around the lake.
Even this other picnic table is normally quite a ways back from the edge of the lake so it's clear the lake has swallowed up some land.
The great blue heron has found a nice spot to perch on.
This one didn't seem to move at all for a long time.
I'm used to not seeing many Canada geese on this side of the lake in the spring since they are usually walking with their babies on a large field on the other side of the lake.
The odd thing was I didn't see any geese on land with their babies.
I hope we continue to have a cool down at night for a while. I don't mind heat as much when the mornings are pleasant and it edges up during the day.
This American robin didn't seem to be making any sound and I was worried about it because it was so still.
I finally went out because I wanted to clean out the bath and put in fresh water.
At first it just moved its head a bit and then hopped over to the edge of the deck and disappeared into the vines.
