So what is with the rising water? Started out for a walk, expecting to go over to the park like we did yesterday and....
the path is underwater again. The weather has been beautiful so where did it come from? Only thing I can think of is there must have been snow on some mountain tops that has now melted. Seemed strange...
What wasn't strange but exciting was seeing...
the first Trumpeter Swans of the season! Haven't checked, but this seems a bit early to see them but I'm not complaining....have to be my favorite winter visitors.
there was more 'white' further out, but these are gulls, not swans. A few Bald Eagles out there but partly due to the higher water and partly due to some duck hunting that was taking place out there today, there wasn't a whole lot around.
just the general scene on another picture perfect fall day!
there was a large flock of mixed Black-capped and Chestnut-backed Chickadees in the bushes at the edge of the grasslands but none cooperated for a photo. Also saw an Anna's Hummingbird but only guy that came out long enough for a shot was this Dark-eyed Junco.
