Swan Lake

The next morning we went for a paddle in Swan Lake, which is not a swimming lake, but good for wildlife and fishing.

There were lots of common yellowthroats and marsh wrens calling and we came across this marsh wren nest.

They make several false nests as decoys.  I stuck my finger inside and it was empty so presumably a decoy.

This eagle was sitting high in a tree overlooking the water.

We came upon a group of 10 herons fishing along the shore.  We scared them up and the flew ahead of us as we paddled along. Turns out there is a heronry just downstream from the lake.

There's a pretty nice rv park on Swan Lake, a potential camping spot in high summer.  You could just carry your boat to the water and launch from the campsite.
