We've been busy hiking and biking (NOT on the crazy trails) and looking for park Geo-caches. There is a power line running through the edge of the park and atop every pole is an osprey nest. It has been fun watching them build their nests. They appear to be in various stages with some just starting and some full of juveniles already. I'm loving my binoculars that Denny got me for Christmas last year!
They have been spraying the ponds and swamps for mosquitoes due to the Zika virus so we have had surprisingly few bug bites in spite of trekking through the swamps!

Osprey are slow builders.This is 3 days worth of effort. They have along way to go! |
