A colleague and I set out for an afternoon of fishing today.  Upon reaching the lake we realized that the wind was up and that fishing on the choppy water would present problems.  After 30 minutes or so of struggling with the wind, we decided that a birding/wildlife drive would be more productive.  Birds of prey were clearly out in the wind and a Bald Eagle came in close looking for Coots that usually hang out on one corner of the lake. To forget fishing was the right decision as we enjoyed a beautiful drive.  The highlight of the drive turned out to be a Long-tailed Weasel that ran across the road right in front of us near the Jocko Lake turn off – a new mammal for me.  I had camera-trapped one in the area before but had never seen one.
