The loon went swimming with us yesterday. He was about 100 feet from our raft. We'd just gotten out of the water. What a treat to see!
The lake has cleared quite a bit. No actual measurements taken yet, but visually it looked a lot better. I think the wind and high water had stirred things up about a week ago.
The pollen is coating the lake now, but that will disappear soon. These days it's smart not to smile when you're outside if you don't want yellow teeth! You can grin, tho.
It would be fun if you would comment here if you see some interesting wildlife of the nonhuman variety. Any stories out there from this spring?
We are new to the lake - I wondered if loons were ever seen on Gilbert. How common is it to see them and when is typical?
