Bird Watching

Last night we saw the Osprey dive successfully for dinner. And we've had the pleasure of watching a family of western Blue Birds splash around in the bird bath in the garden, too sweet! Not uncommon here are also Night Heron and Green Heron, of course with the lake lots of Ducks, especially Mallards and Merganser.  You don't even have to go down to the lake, just relax in a comfy chair on the back deck with a cool drink and watch a variety of Hummingbirds, Finches, Robins  and more. If you still need to be convinced, just know that Spirit Lake is less than a ten minute drive from Anderson Marsh where the annual Blue Heron Festival is held every April. I hike there often and have seen wild Pheasant in the summer and Bald Eagle in the winter and spring. There are an extensive variety of Ducks and I even saw a pair of  huge magnificent White Pelicans.  And all of this only a couple of hours from the San Francisco Bay Area, up through the beautiful wine country.

It's a Screeching Owl and it loves to be admired....        Spirit Lake Bed and Breakfast - 11865 Candy Lane - Lower Lake, Ca 95457 - 707-995-9090 -  e-mail:watsuem@inreach.com  Home  Rooms & Rates  Massage & Healing Around the Lake    How to get Here  Site Map ® 2009 Spirit Lake Bed and Breakfast
