Gray sky, gray lake. Thousands of people, many in holiday costumes, on a charity walk. Green algae bloom all along the southern shore. Scope spotter observing the lake from the southern deck. A few mallards near the southwest inlet; several dozen coots farther north. Two more scope spotters trained on a bird in the middle of the lake.
