Report on the Grebe nesting colonies on Lake Hodges in 2021 season

2020 was not a year known for it’s superlatives. Having said that, for a 10 day period just before Christmas Lake Hodges had a little visitor. The Vermilion Flycatcher is a bird native to the desert and is very seldom seen around Lake Hodges. The last documented sighting was in 2010 at the east side of the lake in the Bernardo Bay area. However, this is the first time one has ever been photographed here at the Lake.

Every morning we walk the shores of Lake Hodges.  Angus is an Australian Cattle dog that often poses in prime locations for sunrise photographs. While walking we check out the weather conditions, Lake level, bird activity, animal activity and other factors  to determine what will  likely to happen on the Lake that day. Feel free to follow Lake Hodges Photo Tours Facebook page to see the best of them.
