pany=0Awith several other naturalists. Very nice for April.=0AThe stoneflie=
s were very abundant. Lots on the river plus lots in the trees. The yellow =
rumped=0Awarblers especially enjoyed the feast. Amazing how little fear the=
y have of humans - coming=0Aless than a meter away, sitting on a branch and=
 singing a song. They caught the stoneflies on the wing.=0ARobins on the ot=
her hand used a different tactic. They stood on rocks in the river - some w=
ith water=0Alapping over the rock. They don't seem to mind wet feet. They p=
icked the flies of as they drifted by.=0ASwallows went for those higher up =
in the sky.I couldn't be sure just what flies they were feeding on=0Abut th=
ey were flying just over the area where the lake goes into the river. Looke=

 50 in sight at once and many more behind=0Athe trees that I couldn't see. =
Standing in fast water nearly to your waist is a poor time to count birds -=
