The Lakes Mary and Mormon Lake

On Saturday morning, April 4th, my wife and I took a drive in windy conditions down Lake Mary road. We saw two Golden Eagles at Lower Lake Mary, Bald Eagles at Lower Lake Mary and Mormon Lake, Osprey at both the Lakes Mary, a Peregrine at Mormon Lake and Turkey Vultures at all locations. We saw no kestrels and just a single red-tail.

Other than raptors we saw little of note. A single Double-crested Cormorant at Lower Lake Mary, a Brewer's Blackbird near the Bison behind the Lodge, and Lewis's Woodpeckers and Mountain Bluebirds en route back. A stop at Grass Lake yielded nothing but the most common ducks and a few coot.
