Summer Wildlife on Lake Barcroft
With the temperature hovering near 90 on land, Lake Barcroft offered cool breezes, especially in the shade, as I set out on a late morning kayak trip.
I observed all manner of flying things and even one creepy crawly thing.
A great blue heron nest high in the pines. No babies yet!
All types of dragonflies:
At the end of the ride, bringing the kayak to the racks on Beach 3, I came across this giant crawfish. He was scary big! I couldn't resist taking lots of photos of him.
