I wish I could show you the pictures that I took with Kohei at Santa Marguerita Lake. It was a beautiful lake, like something out of a Disney film about life in the mountains.
I saw a big brown bird chasing an egret. The egret just managed to out-maneuver it, and as it turned I noticed its white head. It was a friggin' bald eagle! Having only seen disappointing footage of baldies eating washed up salmon carcasses after a spawn, I was shocked to watch it seemingly hunt a larger bird!
I also saw a ton of deer. Should you want to go on the Atkin's diet: deer edition, go to the lake. There are a surplus of deer. If someone figures out how to convert deer to an alternative fuel, our current dependency on petroleum will be solved.
Turkeys are also abundant in these parts. We must have seen twenty turkeys, at least, down by the lake.
A group of turkey vultures circled above the lake, making me wonder if there was a floating carcass tempting them to try out their water wings. Thankfully, I saw no bodies or animal remains.
The fish were plentiful too. Tons of juvenile bass, shad, and supposedly, they just planted 1,000 pounds of trout. I'm glad we didn't catch any trout. Though sustainable, I just don't enjoy the tiny bones.
Lake fishing is more about relaxing than fishing, and in this respect, we succeeded. Now that relaxation is out of the way, I am ready to go to the ocean...
