chose to venture back to Crooked Creek lake area to see what critters I could find.
I parked alongside a friend as she watched the horizon line for camera opportunities. She was surprised to look over and see me.

The waters, as usual, yielded Canada Geese and Mergansers. I saw some gulls fluttering around and occasionally diving into the waters. I saw two Killdeers along the shoreline.

Later I managed some photos of Cardinals and Red-bellied Woodpeckers.
