Sure there are still Bald Eagles around....
and some Trumpeter Swans,and yes, that is ice.....there is a pretty chilly wind coming down the river right now, which is typical in winter when we get a period of sunny weather.
But there are more birds than just these guys....
Mallard, of course are always around, some times just a few, sometimes a lot, but Northern Pintail, like these guys aren't seen all that often. There are a couple of American Wigeon in the background here too.
lot's of Green-wing Teal out there too.
and Common Merganser....
Yesterday we walked over at Harrison Bay....with the wind there wasn't much of anything to be seen...other than this....
a young American Goldfinch....that was a bit of a surprise for this time of the year.
back to today, there was a trio of Eurasian Collared Doves flying around (only 2 in photo)....hadn't seen any of them for a while.
Should also mentioned we spooked a Wilson's Snipe.....no photo...with the sun low in the sky and shining straight at us, didn't see it until it was too late....
can hardly miss this little guy though....this male Anna's Hummingbird has his section along the trail staked out and if you just stand there for a minute you are sure to spot him somewhere.
