Just awesome-to know these may be breeding here by the Lake. But I did end up with one question on that: Would the toxic algae blooms that appear to be happening in the Lake every summer pose a risk to young (or even not so young) fish-eating birds of prey?

It's the closest view I've ever gotten of this regal-looking bird. He (she? I'm going with "he" as he was not so very large) remained perched there for a long time-still there when I passed by again 20 minutes after first seeing him--taking in the evening view of the lake, where the fish were, in fact, jumping. And where quite a few common mergansers were enjoying the evening quiet too (may not have been aware who was watching them). Eveline Ferretti Public Programs and Communication Administrator Albert R.
