Whelan

Whelan Lake was formerly part of a dairy farm. 



When the dairy Collapsed, the lake was deeded to the
 Audubon Society as a bird sanctuary. 


The birds clearly know that this is THEIR place,
not ours.




We went in December,
on the first Saturday of the month at 8 am 



(the only time of the week that it's open to the public).






It was a gloomy day, but not for the Ducks.
