Well I was right…yesterday, as it turned out, set a record for the warmest Dec. 28th on record. Not only was it warm but the heavy rain and wind continued well into the night. Today, so far, it has been dry and although warmer than it should be, it is edging back towards more normal temperatures.
went out this morning in hopes of killing off the partial charge in the new spare battery…as you can see there was even a bit of blue sky…and water levels have come up even more.
It was obviously bath day at the log bay….Red-wing Blackbirds were everywhere!
here some contemplating taking the plunge…
this one perched in a red-osier dogwood bush…sporting his fresh plumage – that golden edging on the feathers will wear off in time…
there were quite a few Bald Eagles concentrated out on the flats…32 in this picture I think….
While I was looking at them through the camera’s lens I was sure I could see a four legged animal walking among them….so I took quite a few shots…but try as I might, now they are down loaded, I can’t spot any animal..
there is a Northwestern Crow out there among them in this shot…but nothing with four legs.
one final look, just for good measure (if you click on the picture it will enlarge, use your ‘back’ button to return to normal)
There were some swans way out there today, Black-capped Chickadee, Dark-eyed Junco, Song Sparrow, Spotted Towhee, a smaller flock of Pine Siskin, a Northern Flicker, that Hairy Woodpecker and some Steller’s Jay were the other birds seen this morning, along with a few Mallard.
