Water Birds



We've been fishing our little hearts out.  Some days we catch a few fish and on the hot days with no wind we cruise the lakes.  We have seen all kinds of wildlife cruising around.  Lots of pelicans but according to the park ranger they don't nest here.  The pelicans that hang around here are immature males not ready to mate yet.  The other ducks we see a lot of are mergansers like the ones on the rock.  We also see a lot of golden eye ducks - they have dark heads with a bright "golden" eye. 

We are enjoying our work.  Saturdays are the toughest day cleaning cabins and sprucing up the grounds but the other three days we work are pretty easy.  We just help folks with their boats and clean fish. 

We saw the northern lights for the first time last night.  We are hoping tonight they will be even better.   They didn't have much color just a light green and only danced a little bit.  The solar flare/sunspot activity isn't at its peak yet so they may get better.each night for a few nights.
