<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Caught
a nice Carp....29 inches long and weighed in at 10 pounds!!!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">According to Paula, Ron's wife, Ron caught this beauty this morning using a hot dog that had been soaking in honey,
vanilla and other liquids. Corky gave him the bait yesterday. Corky is still
out from his ankle surgery and believe me, he is vey anxious to get back there.
Maybe this will do it! Now Ron has some hot dogs in honey, vanilla and I don't
know what else!!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">It
was 29 1/2 inches long between 10 and 15 pounds. (not one of those guys down
there has a scale!) It was quite a haul though reeling this beauty in. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got these cormorants
this past Monday (5/22/17) out in front of Townleys’ lakefront. Full-grown ones
are black, although it looks like the other two are larger than the black one.
I think they were scoping out something for lunch! A big carp was breaking
water nearby, but he was way out of their league! Maybe if they would have
ganged up on him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Andalus, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are tagged Trumpeter Swans that showed up
several days ago. They were hangin’ out with the other swans and the geese and
ducks yesterday when I grabbed this photo. So much for the myth that swans will
drive other waterfowl out of the area! I read that they are the largest native
waterfowl in North America, with wingspans as much as 7 1/2 ft. and heights as
much as 4 ft.! Some weigh in at over 30 lbs.! The name comes from their
trumpet-like call.</span></div>

At least 6 tagged Trumpeter swans first appeared on Sweet Arrow Lake last spring on what seems to be a migration North. It is believed that they either escaped or were released from a preserve or private breeder. Genuine wild Trumpeter Swans are not ordinarily seen in this area.</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Hi Bob, took these photos of a Ross's Goose this morning at the lake.
He was alone with a flock of Canada Geese. According to what I read on
a birding site, its presence is a record for Schuylkill County.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Paula also included a picture of a pretty purple flower. It is Purple Loosestrife.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you see any, please pull it out by the roots.</span><br />
<b>Purple loosestrife is a wetland plant from Europe and Asia.</b> It was introduced into the east coast of North America in the 1800s. First spreading along roads, canals, and drainage ditches, then later distributed as an ornamental, this exotic plant is in 40 states and all Canadian border provinces.<br />
Purple loosestrife invades marshes and lakeshores, replacing cattails and other wetland plants. The plant can form dense, impenetrable stands which are unsuitable as cover, food, or nesting sites for a wide range of native wetland animals including ducks, geese, rails, bitterns, muskrats, frogs, toads, and turtles. Many rare and endangered wetland plants and animals are also at risk.<br />

was a hairy or a downy woodpecker, so I checked online and discovered it was
neither! Turns out it’s a male red-bellied woodpecker. The other two have only
small tufts of red feathers at the rear of their skulls, and the female
red-bellied is similar to them. But the male has the red from its beak to the
back of its head, of course, signifying his superiority (don’t let Kathy, Carol
or Denise see this)!</span></div>
