Frank Lake bird blind

I got back home from my Trinidad & Tobago trip one month ago. I love our prairie and mountain scenery and was happy to get down to the Frank Lake area. There was so much water around the blind this day. Since my return, I have only had a couple of day trips and one walk and now have several photos that I wanted to post, just to remind myself of where I went and a few of the things I saw. Thought I would post these tonight, before I start on Day 5 of Trinidad & Tobago - I think they will provide a much-needed break from endless, very green photos! I had hoped to post all my holiday photos without interruption, but I can see that that is definitely not going to happen.

On 2 April 2017, I joined friends for a day in the Frank Lake area, hoping to see a variety of birds. It was a partly sunny day, with constantly changing clouds, some rather ominous. As for birds, it was a very quiet day and the only birds I got to photograph were several Trumpeter Swans.

I still have a couple of owl photos, taken in a local park, that I want to post, plus a handful of shots taken on 17 April, when I went with friends to look for Sandhill Cranes. Poor light plus "heat distortion" and taking some photos from inside the car resulted in a very disappointing batch of images. Will pick out a handful as a record of a most enjoyable day, way out of the city.
