No Eagles Today
A Brief Visit to Lock CS-1
Sunday, May 23, 2010

Swung by Lock CS-1 on the way home to see if the eagles were around... none in sight, and no apparent activity in the nest which has me wondering if they nested there this year. Lots of fishermen all around the lock, which I expected on a warm sunny Sunday afternoon. I also spent a little while watching a pair of swallows that took a break from swooping around and perched on one of the lock gates. It's tough to get photos of them when they're flying, so I always enjoy a chance to observe them standing still.

I considered stopping at Montezuma but it looked crowded... and I really wanted to get to the Old Erie Canal for some riding...
