The walk around Waughop Lake this afternoon was a real eye-opener. Mary Jane is a birder so I learned to tell the difference between different species of ducks, cranes, and other birds... shovelers, wood ducks, creepers, great blue herons...
Mary Jane says Waughop Lake (near Pierce College -- nee Ft Steilacoom Community College back in the day) is the best place in Pierce County to go bird-watching. It was just full of feathery "folk"!
She headed back about a third of the way around (she's recovering from hip surgery) so Judi and I went the rest of the way around, walking faster and seeing less as a result. But it was a terrific time, whether we were going fast or not-so-fast. I wish I had taken a camera. Next time!
