This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_xzDhTd+ZHqtt0XfC2pvMqw) Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Seven of us spent four hours this morning walking the loop at Lewis Lake PP. There were 13 warbler species evident this morning, all the regulars minus Canada Warbler. The highlight for me was a Broad-winged Hawk. I have encountered adults and young together in the trees here chattering as only these hawks can do. I've posted one photo of the hawk. Along the trail side a pair of Downy Woodpeckers had recently excavated or renovated a nest site. Fresh wood shavings were on the ground beneath the cavity. Nearby are Northern Flicker and Hairy Woodpecker nests. The adult Hairy Woodpeckers were busily feeding their young. These young are chipping now much like their parents so I expect they will fledge soon. The Northern Flicker parent was still tight to its nest. I've also posted photos of a baby Garter Snake(we think?), and a mysterious spawning fish thought by some to be suckers, others thought whitefish. The body silhouette from above is much like a shark's.
