Birding at Lake Los Carneros

Today we drove a few miles to a lake I found using an app that tells users what birds have been seen recently and where. Good way to find good spots for birding.

It was a good place, just full of both waterfowl and perching birds. We are so bad at identifying birds that it is pathetic, but we do try and it's fun! We wandered around the many paths near the lake.

We ID-ed the ruddy duck, the only one we got not that familiar to us. Otherwise, we saw lots of other birds but nothing unusual. David, our birder friend in Minneapolis, is sorely needed!

Near the lake is an historic home, the Stow House, 1873.







Grounds at the house


Huge tree on the grounds - very unusual trunk.
