Fish

With three giddy fishermen on the crew I decided this would be as good a summer as any to learn to fish, so I got a pole and a license and headed to a couple of lakes, though sadly we did not return with the hoped provisions for cinco de mayo fish tacos.

Lake Almanor


Butt Lake. No luck pulling fish out of the Butt.


We also did our first mock point counts today. This is, of course, one of our trouble birds, the Chipping Sparrow, sounding remarkably like Juncos.
