A beautiful morning on the lake in the kayak.  No wind, bright sunshine, cool temperatures, and even the jet skis were being polite.  I didn’t see many turtles today, but I made up for that with the variety of birds.  I hope you enjoy the photos.

This little guy kept flitting out in front me.

I’ve seen the kingfishers before, but none had sat still long enough for me to get a decent shot.  This guy had his breakfast.

This heron is likely the same one I saw last week and was in the same place.  Perhaps near a nest?

Here was the surprise of the morning, an osprey.  I wasn’t sure what it was until getting home and looking it up.

There was also a pair of eagles, both a mature one and a young one.  The mature one flew up and headed straight away from me, so not the best shot, but young one posed in a tree.

Not a bird, but saw these deer across the lake.

All together a great day on the lake.  I hope your day has been a good one, too.
