Frigid!

The past few days have brought frigid temperatures to the area, coupled with several lengthy power outages that has resulted in my falling behind in my postings, so I’m going to combine some pictures from yesterday and today.

another frigid morning

That is the scene that has greeted us both days…brilliant sunshine but with a cold wind ‘right in the face’

Eating Salmon

Yesterday morning, this Bald Eagle was feeding on a frozen salmon at the foot of our boat launch….

Windblown

it’s ‘hair do’ is testament to the wind that was blowing….and yes, that is ice along the shore line….in fact today there is very little open water left.

log bay

Yesterday, the ‘first bay’ was full of ducks seeking shelter from the wind..

Sheltering ducks

ducks seen yesterday…

The first bay.

Today there were only 6 ducks in the area, no eagles feeding although I did see a lot soaring over head late in the day.  This, by the way, is as far as we are walking these days as the path is once more blocked off.

Varied Thrush thawing out

I did notice this Varied Thrush this morning…hunched up in a patch of sunshine ~ no doubt trying to warm up!

Varied Thrush in Callicarpia

Later in the day there were several Varied Thrush feeding on these berries on my neighbors ‘Beauty Berry’ bush.
