We had an "easy" day today. We drove around Lake Bowdoin this morning - that took almost 3 hours. We saw tons of birds. This is also where I ran 3km. Bowdoin Lake is completely dry at the moment. How sad! I don't know if this happens every year or this is usual... it's just a big white patch of dirt. Supposedly during migration you can see a ridiculous amount of birds here. Not in the summer that's for sure! If you ever have the chance, take the time to drive around (it's 15miles) and stop often. Bring some bug spray! I don't know what those biting things were but they were vicious! There were also millions if not trillions of grasshoppers! It made running interesting! Trying to dodge them flying at your head, hitting your legs and arms - good thing they don't bite!
After this, we went back to the hotel, watched some tv, just relaxed. We went for a paddle - the water was so gross! Remi fell in twice... I'm thankful I didn't fall in! The water was just full of little bits of algae. I guess the water is so low - the motor boats are must mixing everything up and it comes up to the surface. A big old YUCK!
I watched the beautiful sunset and plan on doing that again tomorrow!
Not sure what we will be doing tomorrow.
Birds - too many to name them all - red tailed hawk x2, lots of different ducks, nighthawks, kingbirds, yellow warble, pelicans to name a few.
Wildlife - pronghorn antelope mixed in with cows, rabbits in the back of our hotel
Road kill: none
