Last day of February....

The last day of February ~ already!  and yes.....


it snowed.....again, still!  After snowing almost all day the day before, just as we were arriving home from this walk, it started snowing again.  


we made it over to the log bay this morning...and despite the snow, right there in the middle...


a sign of spring....an American Robin.


it sounded like spring too with the Red-wing Blackbirds (this is just a portion of them) singing their heads off.


in another area there were 3 Song Sparrows being very busy, mainly eating the tiny seeds from the Hardhack bushes.

this...


Great Blue Heron was wading about in the snow....and, after vanishing for the past couple of weeks...


Varied Thrush showed up again.

After lunch we wandered over to Harrison bay....again it was very quiet...



although there were a few pairs of Black-capped Chickadees.  These little guys tend to start working on nesting sites early, finding one, and discarding it several times before settling into nest....

and speaking of nests, the eagle nest was empty but...



the Bald Eagle pair were out there on a piling.
