Sunshine and vanishing snow

Yesterday and today we have had brilliant blue skies and sunshine and the snow has been rapidly disappearing....


this is what the far end of the estuary looked like, that is the Nature Trust lands where the trees are.  There were a few ducks here....


including these female Hooded Merganser snoozing in the sunshine.

After that a run over to Kilby....

not often you see it looking like that...


the Bald Eagle pair haven't settled to nesting yet, this one was on look out along the beach while it's mate was out on one of the pilings....


and here, like everywhere else lately, there were Varied Thrush everywhere you looked!


there is another one....


and here a Gold-crowned Sparrow.  There were also Junco, Chickadees, Jays, Doves etc. etc.

should mention that I spotted the Rusty Blackbird again this morning, it was out in the yard early with some Red-wing Blackbirds.  Unfortunately we had to leave for the day so that glimpse was all I had.
