Birds of a Feather

The silt run is on but there is still some pretty interesting things to see and do in the park. When the lake is down it always brings the pelicans and herons,

must be easy fishing this time of year.

One advantage of the silt run - plenty of places to picnic - the wonderful North Bluff Castle

Where the view is spectacular even if smoke from far off forest fires is a small distraction

When the Vultures start to circle it must mean it's time to go home.

Birds in the Park

Guernsey State Park might be best known for camping, boating, hiking, and mountain biking, but guess what? It is also a great place for bird watching.

 I know very little about birds, but do enjoy watching birds on and near the water.

This guy looks like King of the Water Birds

Up River, past Sandy Beach and in the Spillway you will see many of these interesting birds.

 The park is home to many Ducks and Turkey’s
