We'd had just enough snow over night to put a sparkle on everything.
these Bald Eagles were just at the start of our walk....feasting on one of the gooey salmon that are slowly get uncovered as the snow recedes.
conditions were so nice we decided to continue on over to the park. This is the path as it currently exists!
got to the log bay and was busy concentrating on trying to get a picture of the Red-wing Blackbirds that were there....
when I realized I was being stared at by....
by this guy who was perched on the piling at the end of the bay....
here he is....and he continued to be completely undisturbed by my being there. I turned to look back into the bay....
and notice somebody huddled in there soaking up the morning sunshine....
it was this Great Blue Heron.
Meanwhile....
my friend continued to happily sit there.
Leaving him in peace we headed for home and lunch before going over to .....
Harrison Bay where it was equally beautiful although without nearly as many birds as we've seen on our last few visits.
there were some swans, all Trumpeter's this time I think, and some eagles scattered along the shoreline beside the highway.
more eagles in trees along the shoreline, like this young one right beside the dike. A number of Ruby-crowned Kinglets were flitting in the bushes but never did manage a photo of one, likewise the Spotted Towhee and Downy Woodpeckers.
we shall leave you with this....
