yes, that is ice forming out there and with the cold weather it hasn't taken long for the water levels to drop way down.
this was the scene at the log bay today...there were actually quite a few Bald Eagles in the area (and almost as many photographers). Lots of ducks too, mainly Mallards
took one obligatory shot and left the place to the visitors - I get to see them any old time. Actually what I was most thrilled with was seeing some Red-wing Blackbirds there - they have been totally absent up to now which is rather unusual.
Yesterday we did a short walk over at Harrison Bay...
you can tell what the temperature was like by these swans and ducks all huddled together on a bit of ice covered dry land.
this Song Sparrow was about the only small bird that ventured out.
An interesting find this morning here, close to home...
was this American Robin and while I was watching it, I could hear not only Chestnut-backed Chickadees but a Red-breasted Nuthatch. Has been a while since either of those species were around here.
and it doesn't seem to matter how chilly it gets....
Anna's Hummingbirds seem to cope just fine.
