Cowen Lake Camping

Lisa and I went camping over the weekend at Cowen Lake (near Wilmington). Our neighbor was able to score three adjacent premium sites - they were great. We had a lot of fun sitting around the campfire at night while fishing, swimming (I took a nap instead), and bike riding during the day. We caught the movie on Saturday (Lion King) and went straight to bed.

There was a bird-walk on sunday morning. The ranger used an electronic birdcall player to attract the birds. John and I were skeptical, but he proved us wrong. He attracted a Red-eyed Vireo and a Barred Owl to where we could see them. Very nice.

Here are some photos taken during the weekend. We saw a good number of birds, including the red-headed woodpeckers landing near our tents.
