I regularly see the kingfishers out there too, hanging out on the power line and then swoop down for fish! Lots of egrets, herons, mergansers, mallard ducks, coots, pied billed grebes, and so many more. I love birding while biking too!

Helped another lady and her dog today. Her dog had a hurt foot from the Piedmont Park dog park and I put them in the Douze and got them across the park to their house. 3 in a month!
