Floating Island Lake has always been a sleeper place for us. We pass it by
continually only to stop and take a look and it always reveals wonderful
surprises. It's amazing how many times you have to learn to stop and smell
the flowers or in this case look at the birds.

Lakes are unusally small in YNP, but who cares when
they have a plethora of birds!
