I work from home so once in a while I just need a nice pick me up so I took
2 hours yesterday and went to the above listed ponds.  The temperature was
54 degrees, no breeze, beautiful, quiet and a nice variety of birds were
seen.

Around 5:45pm I also took a ride to St Georges Island and was blessed to see
so many osprey on nest and flying around.
