Interesting day....

Weather forecast was for fairly nice weather, at least until mid-afternoon....so


started out doing a bit in the yard and getting a few pictures like of this Pine Siskin...


and this Dark-eyed Junco....and then we decided to go for a longer walk over at....


Harrison Bay....notice the snowline on the mountains in the background....the lowest it has been for a while.


lots of Canada Geese scattered all across the adjacent farm fields.


American Robins were  much in evidence....


There were a few Tree Swallows flying around...this one settled on a wire long enough to get a distant shot.


was thrilled to see some activity at the Bald Eagle nest.  It is hard to see but they had sticks and were working on the nest....of course by the time they get down to business the tree will be leafed out and we won't be able to see anything.


back near home we took this shot, just to show the water levels....


this pair of Canada Geese are perched in the lower left hand corner of the above photo.

Back at home in the afternoon....


this 'intergrade' Northern Flicker showed up with the black 'moustache' of the yellow shafted and the normal coloration of the red shafted.


then a bit later, looked out and there were two Band-tail Pigeons at the tray feeder with an Eurasian Collared Dove perched on a branch above.
