Quaker Lake 6/24/07

A Sunday afternoon at Quaker Lake
in New York State's Allegany State Park.
Nice that you can launch from near the spillway
without entering the park and paying the entrance fee.
Several kayaks on the lake.
But we had just about decided
that there wasn't much wildlife on the lake
and were heading back to the launch
when we came upon a pair of osprey
perched on a tall old dead tree.
They were reasonably cooperative
and allowed a bunch of photos
before moving on down the shore to a new perch.
On the drive back to Little Valley
we noticed an osprey nest on the edge of the park.
