  • Kayaking on Abel Reservoir in between thunderstorms
  • An egret watching us and hunting for a meal

Found a weather window today that let us back on the water today. Back to our closest go to and had a lovely paddle. Saw kingfishers again but they’re too fast for us to snag a photo, lots of turtles, and we were able to snag a photo of an egret. We also met a couple of student researchers from Mary Washington University Biology Department who were out cataloging turtles. Fun and interesting day on the Reservoir.
