It was a very calm peaceful morning.  Winds were southerly but barely enough
to create a ripple on the surface.  This made it easy to pick out birds on
the water at a great distance.  This made for a great morning for spotting
horned grebes and common loons.  They were moving east on the lake all
morning.  There was a single red-throated loon.  It was actually one of the
first birds of the morning.  It was on the lake and heading east.  The only
other bird of note was a single snow bunting.
