Checking in for Holiday Weekend

In the states, this is Memorial Day weekend where we honor all serviceman who have helped keep our freedom for over 200 years. On Friday, I went to Lake Lenape County Park to walk around and take pictures. As soon as I got out of the car, I heard a lot of bird noises coming from the lake. Towards the edge in the lake there is this bird house which was attracting all sorts of attention. Guess they were checking in early. Best Viewed Large
