I'll have to get back to North Lake at Chain of Lakes next trip. That will be early April, so there should be some good birds coming through on Spring migration, or maybe hanging around for summer already. End of August the Fall migration was just starting and I saw 3 lifers visiting the woods around the lake. I also saw various juvs in the woods and on the water. I was watching two juv coots popping their heads up from among these water plants when up popped a juv Pied-billed Grebe right in front of them, apparently jealous for attention ;)
