Falls Lake and Durham yard



Falls Lake

Spent some time boating Falls Lake with some visiting family. They enjoyed
seeing two very active osprey nests and a very close-up view of a mature
Bald Eagle, with 2 other BE soaring in the distance.

Durham Co. (Olive Branch Rd)
My yard (4 1/2 acres ) has been great this summer, considering how little
time I spent looking.
