March 18 A Peaceful park with many birds

I visited Rolling View State Park which is part of Falls Lake. I found a secluded campsite on a hill very close to the water. The fire pit had a barbecue attachment which made cooking easier. There were many hawks in the sky, and woodpeckers in the trees. After dark, I could hear a large owl nearby. On the lake there was a small island or peninsula which was home to a colony of gulls who laughed loudly in to the wee hours of the night. While I listened to them, the lake became still and reflected the clear sky of stars above. I had visited the park in early spring, and there were very few other people camping there at the time.
