Pelicans migrate through Eastern Kansas in the fall, and it is quite a time
to sail through flocks of hundreds of them sitting on the lake. One of the
giant joys of sailing is the wildlife that doesn't get spooked by a quiet
boat. TH

" I can't wait to see some cool stuff like that. Although, we did see a
raccoon in a tree once does that count?"
>Ha! Nice.
The wildlife around here is a big part of the fun of sailing Springtime has
1000's of Mergansers on the lake...three different species. Their call is so
close to the noise that my autotiller makes that they talk to one another.
I see Kingfishers working all the time. Eagles, Hawks and Osprey. I once saw
an Eagle and an Osprey having a fight.
I have seen two bear so far and lots of deer.
Seems everywhere I anchor there are all these fish waiting to be fed.
Usually a Mallard couple will drop by, I feed them some crackers or
something....and then he fish show up. Dozens of them.
My favourite wildlife on this lake only show up on the baking calm
(Float'n'Bakes) late afternoons of summer.
The Barebreasted Deckcandy.
Rare, but can be spotted with luck and a trained eye.
