Birding at Force Lake

Force Lake is just a hop, and a skip from here; it's just west of the Expo Center. So we drove over for a little bird watching, and what a place! Small lake, next to Heron Lakes Golf Course, but filled with water birds. This shot only shows a feeding Great Blue Heron and a fleeing Mallard, but we saw at least 10 other species. I believe that's a Pelican farther back, sitting in the water. We put our binocs to good use, Dianne had a book at hand, of course our phone/cameras, but there were others looking at birds, too, with scopes on tripods.
