Hi All
This afternoon we went to a small lake for a paddle.
The wind came up after a while so we returned to the truck. It was parked i=
n an area with=20
some cattails growing around the edge. One of the leaves started to shake
so violently I remarked to my friend about it. He replied that the wind had=
 caused
it to vibrate at the frequency that it started to shake very fast. The expl=
aination
was a bit beyond me but that was ok as it was interesting.
Many dragon flies around the shore of the lake. Not great large ones but
a pretty reddish brown. almost firey brown.
As soon as something bright showed up they landed on it - mostly in pairs.
One flew over low and a sparrow jumped out of the grass and had it for lunc=
h.
Quite a few Caddis flies around yet as well as midges. Some of the midges w=
ere=20
quite large for midges almost as big as small mayflies.
A small lake but it has an interesting collection of insects.
Also a flock of Ring necked ducks - all with jet black wing tips - LOL
 Have a nice fall
Paul
