we did get over to ....
the log bay this morning, where, apart from a flock of Red-wing Blackbirds, there wasn't much of anything.
Yesterday, the first day of the count, wasn't a whole lot better. Drove over to Harrison Bay
where farm fields were full of Trumpeter Swans, Canada Geese and a little further along, Mallard and Northern Pintail ducks....the rainbow here though gives an indication of what the weather was like - windy and showery and not nice at all!
We did have one pleasant sighting though...
a Northern Shrike! First time I've ever seen one over at Harrison Bay, and first one I'd seen anywhere this winter.
over at the estuary saw this pair of Ring-neck Ducks.....it had been so rough on the water at Harrison Bay that there was nothing in sight.
Perhaps we'll attempt a drive around Nicomen this afternoon and see if we can see anything, since the snow seems to be letting up, at least for the time being.
