There was time for lunch and a short rest (for Gramiam!) and it was off to Laurel Creek Conservation Area to take part in the "wonders of whirligigs" nature walk. It's amazing what a net can produce. And with the help of a naturalist from the GRCA it was a fascinating couple of hours. 
Will was a little squeamish about putting a worm on his hook....the little charmer managed somehow to persuade me to do it for him!
With our success at fishing, plus the added bonus of finding a garter snake with a frog in its' mouth, as well as having several new birds to add to the "trip list", the morning passed all too quickly.
Here we had fish just begging to be next on the hooks!
Anyone want to venture a guess as to what we did today?? They say a picture is worth a thousand words.......
When the waters around the old dock at Columbia Lake failed to yield the desired results, and the reeds along the shoreline seemed sparsely populated with frogs, we moved on to where a creek flowed into the lake.
