Sights From the Dock
Sights From the Dock – Every morning I would walk down to the docks at this lake to check things out.
One morning this air boat was going back and forth way across the lake. From the photos he was spraying something from a hose it looks like. Not sure what he was doing. That air boat was sure loud.
There actually was not a lot of birds around here besides all those turkey vultures I mentioned earlier.
This little guy was fluttering around the low branches over the water.
One Egret was always spotted doing some fishing every morning. Just the one.

I saw one of those air boats at Lake Erie Metropark when they were dredging the marsh. They were using it to take the workers back and forth to the shoreline. It was interesting how they kind of skim along the surface of the water.
Yes, some places I find that to be true. Nature knows best, when to stay back when something is not right. 🙂
Thanks Sandra. Your excellent photos show two agendas in process, one involving the ongoing timeless. It appears that wildlife may have some reservations. The great mass of birds in the area may be keeping their distance, hiding out, and laying low.
It’s really good that Ted Jennings has told us what the spraying was for! Loved these photographs.
Gwen.
Yes, I had no idea what they were doing. I love it when others can help explain what we see. 🙂, thank you Gwen.
Seeing the moss in the background makes me guess spraying to hold off Mosquito Fern in the water. On going issue here.
Thank you for that. I had no idea what they were doing. He was spraying over there for a long time. Just kept going back and forth.
It’s a guess but pretty common problem. That fern is like Duck Weed only really thick. Over time it can turn a swamp or pond into a wet field. We just had an entire swamp filled with it, then thankfully the land owner paid for the entire swamp to be dredged, islands rebuilt, and cleared of what was possible.
