Opening Gaillardia flower
These 10 photos are the remaining odds and ends from our day trip to Eagle Lake, on 13 July 2019. The photos posted this morning were taken while sitting on our friend's deck or walking around the edge of the campground.
Thank you so much, Shirley, for inviting us all out to visit you a couple of days ago, while you were out again at your summer trailer at Eagle Lake for the weekend! Last year, on our visit, we saw fewer birds than in June 2017. This year, there seemed to be fewer birds than in August last year, but still plenty to keep us happy. With all the rain that we have been having the last few weeks, we were so lucky with the weather - it was perfect.
It was such a pleasure to see some of "your" birds that you enjoy so much. We had an extra treat of seeing baby Northern Flickers in their cavity and watching a pair of House Sparrows busily feeding their babies right near the deck. Talk about cute! A few kinds of shorebirds were down along the edge of the lake, as usual, including an elegant Black-necked Stilt. I didn't notice any soapsud "icebergs" on the lake this year, but there were a few patches of soapsud foam at the water's edge.
The small Hutterite food stand was in the trailer campground again this year. A delightfully friendly lady showed us what she was selling and some of us bought a jar of her strawberry/rhubarb jam. After chatting for quite a while, it was a huge surprise when she insisted on giving us one of her fruit pies to share back at the trailer - delicious, too, I should add.
Great to see everyone who went, and we all enjoyed an array of salads and desserts, along with Shirley's Chili, that left me feeling full till the early evening.
Many thanks, Anne B, for driving the four of us east across the prairies. Hugely appreciated, as always!
