Got a couple of walks in today before the snow really started to fly - which it has been doing now since late afternoon.
it was snowing all around us as we did our morning walk...
there were a few Killdeer at the first bay
a few more Trumpeter Swans off of the log bay
and a number of Bald Eagles feeding in close to shore........look at all the salmon carcasses!
Speaking of eagles feeding, after lunch we drove over to Kilby...
had just got out of the car and was still trying to get dogs organized when this guy flew up into a tree by the parking lot with something for lunch. I can't quite make out what it is, but suspect possibly an American Coot as they are supposed to be a favorite food of eagles.
Eagles were about the only birds around....
this one wasn't amused with us...
there was activity at the newest nest today too. That makes 3 nests in the immediate area.
water levels have come up a little bit so there were quite a few ducks, mainly Mallards but also a few American Wigeon and Northern Pintail.
in the field, mainly Cackling Geese - the smaller version of the Canada Geese, one of which is snoozing in the back there, for a size comparison.
