On this particular day at the Lake Bluff Bird Sanctuary, we got a couple of surprises. The first thing we noticed was that they got a brand-new sign at the entrance. Isn’t it pretty and eye-catching?

Another recent development at Lake Bluff is that the Manor, located at the heart of the spectacular grounds, is now open as a bed and breakfast! Talk about picture-perfect accommodations!

Many of the wildflowers along the trails were starting to bloom!

We got another surprise when we decided to walk the trail to the beach. Recent heavy rains had caused massive erosion, watching entire patches of trees from the face of the high bluffs and onto the beach, some even as far as the water line.
