In mid-April I paddled the Inks Lakes, paddling twice around the main lake and two back arms.    The lake was quiet, but there were hundreds of ducks on the lake.   Geese, lesser yellowlegs, killdeer, crows, a bald eagle, and sandhill cranes were spotted.   All photos taken while paddling.   Click an image for a lightbox view and caption.

The Inks Lakes are small and the lakeshore is muddy, but it is a great place to paddle among the birds in spring.
