Frank Lake - Welcome back to the migrating birds
The return of migrating birds makes this upcoming outing exiting. As spring settles in (maybe), the lake comes alive with movement and sound, flocks returning to rest and nest filling the skies and wetlands with energy. It's a perfect opportunity to capture graceful pelicans in flight, elegant herons in the reeds and the ever changing patterns of birds across the water. With fresh life returning to the landscape, every moment offers something new to see and to photograph.
