Santa Margarita Lake

Mike and I  went to Santa Margarita Lake for a couple of days. This time we took our inflatable kayak and enjoyed being on the water.
 Mike puts crumbs on the table for a bird visitor.

 Then there were two grackle birds gracing our table
 











 





At dusk we fished from our favorite dock.








 










The one that got away 



Deer feeding on the shore 




 
 Back at camp the vultures were roosting
 Time to BBQ sausages


A meal eaten outside


 The next morning time to kayak the lake 






lots of coves to explore 











We headed to land and explore the boat in camp 



complete with solar composting toilet
and fire pit area 





We got a close up look at insects that 
form a cottony mass and then blow loose
 to fly across the water to a new home.

 We discover a rock cave.




Definitely a place to come back to and camp 











 










Back to camp where a red shoulder hawk 
was eating a crawdad. 



It was so nice on the water that we 
went out for another paddle before dinner.
