Lots of activity on Dryden Lake. There were two Red Necked Grebes with a dozen or so Bonaparte's Gulls and three Ruddy Ducks. A group of Common Mergansers was fun to watch as they would all of a sudden disappear and then pop up a few moments later, obviously enjoying a meal. I saw an Osprey nab a fish two different times. Not sure if it was the same Osprey or not. Word has it the Eagles have hatched. I could not confirm this although I did see one adult standing at the edge of the nest, fussing about. Lots of swallows (more than Tree? Not sure).
