A foggy morning

There weather has turned colder and rainy in the last few days, but today it seems like the clouds have disappeared and there was a fog over the lakes.


The lily pads are up and will start blooming soon.


Here is a grebe's nest. They used one of the recently fallen trees to place the nest. These grebes are fun to watch when they are "fishing." They disappear under the water and can come back up a long ways off from where they went under. They must fly under water.


This is a coot's nest near the edge of the lake. I saw some coot chicks in Munich and they look nothing like what you would expect, except for the gray bodies. They have reddish heads and a hint of yellow around their necks, and ridiculously large feet.
