Went for a kayak ride today up Frenchman's Creek. The creek is full of life right now including bait, yoy, egrets, herons, vultures, ducks, geese etc etc etc. I also saw a huge coyote before it saw me. It was still too fast for me to get a picture.

There were so many heron's and cranes cashing in on the harvest

In some areas the carp were sunning and other fish were ripping around chasing bait.
On a side note does anyone know what's going on at the coal docks?


Anyway I had to edit this post to ask what kind of duck that is near the legs of the egret? I never saw it until after I posted it

Female red breasted merganser. Just on its way north.

I thought it looked more like a hooded. I've heard they are not very good eating

Merg. If you take some old beef liver and soak it in cod liver oil that's probably what they taste like. My aunt cooked one and it stunk the house up.
