Had the wonderful opportunity to go to a Kestral forum this past Sat. I like to call myself the "Kestral Keeper". Well one of them anyway, but then someone thought I was "keeping" them.. So..clarification was required. Great opportunity to meet with other volunteers. I highly recommend getting involved at whatever level you can. Pam is a great mentor. Kudos to all the birding peeps.. Love my new trail next door on Barneys Lake...

Sat., 4/18:
-2 loons and I fished at the boat launch at Font Lake. They were more successful than I.
-Startled 2 Sandhill cranes at Barney's Lake, just North of boat launch. Skunked again.
-On Buffalo's Camp trail: saw 2 grouse, heard several more drumming; also, first water strider & garter snake of the year! Many downy woodpeckers.

Osprey on nest
Phyllis and I were fortunate to see two ospreys on the microwave tower the other night. Pictures and video are on facebook and on Beaver Island News on the 'Net.
We believe we captured mating of the two ospreys in photos and video.
We are so glad that the osprey guarding the nest has a mate and that there is a chance for baby ospreys this season.
