Walked down to Sunset Bay at White Rock not even thinking that the Pelicans usually leave for their northern nesting sites around the third week of March. I can report---they have departed!! There were some ducks, geese, a Mud Hen (American Coot). Didn't see any cormorants or seagulls. So, it was down the Dixon Branch inflow to find some turtles. Didn't see the eagles or the Owl chicks branching but did find a couple of hawks. Even with the long lens, I could not get past the Federal Barrier marking off the trees where the Eagles nest and hang out. So the hawks were seen flying from tree to tree and sitting out on a branch either feeding the mate or a chick branching.
The image of the day was a Little League T-Ball baseball sitting next to a goose catching a bit of shuteye. The Sunset dock was surrounded by several yards of washed up branches and some trash, even a shopping cart could be seen a few more yards out into the lake.Still, no dredging while COE guidlines are well within that time frame.
