We put the boat in the water at Clear Lake. We are an hour or so north of San Francisco. It has been a bright sunny day in the 70s so just about perfect for floating around. We were bird watching. I love watching the Western Grebes courtship dances. It is just like I have seen on wildlife films. They face off, go through a whole series of head bobbing maneuvers then simultaneously push themselves clear up out of the water and run high speed until they tire. They rest a few then do it again. Some times as many as 3 pair go through this sequence at once. No fishing today. The regulars say it isn’t so great this week but we might try tomorrow anyway. We will see.
