Today we had our usual 4:30ish wake up, coffee, breakfast, and canoe (ow! My butt!) at 6:00. Fortunately, it was a short canoe ride across the lake to the trailhead for the tower. We climbed the 33m-tall tower in short order, and proceeded to see some birds and get attacked by bugs. Spraying deet directly on some of the nests deterred or even killed some, but others returned, and in greater numbers. I must admit though, some of the birding was good.
After 2 hours (or ~0.00000323 Current JLs) on the tower - 25min of clickity click and 95 min of shoo fly) we headed back down the tower and along a trail. We hiked the trails for a bit, saw a few birds, but it was getting close to noon and the bird activity slowed a lot.
After lunch, we took the rest of the day off. Dad and Andrew went through bird photos, and I updated the blog. Nice to have a little hammock time.
