Speaking of predators, yesterday I zipped by a lynx sitting by the road watching 3 fuzzy gull chicks swim around a dredge pond, waiting no doubt for them to get close to the bank on his side. He ran off when I went by and the gulls harassed him for some time. I sure ruined his dinner plans! There's an Arctic tern nest on the pond also but I don't think it's hatched out yet. Most of the birds are hatched and out and about already, including the baby horned owls in this pic.
