frost too....despite these beautiful conditions, there wasn't a bird in sight!
By the time we got for a walk over at Harrison Bay...
the sun had disappeared....and so had the birds - again - but this time there was a reason...
look closely, those aren't ducks....they are duck decoys....these were just a few of them, some fluttered and some quacked....
and here we have this sneaky, disguised boat....with more decoy's, this time Snow Geese (which we don't even get out here at Harrison bay) behind it. Now if this was a photographer, I'd applaud their ingenuity and patience, but given the volley of gun shots we also experienced, this was not a photographer.
One of the very few birds that were around was this....
Northern Harrier that was feeding on something down in a field....
and it has been a while since....
there have been Pine Siskin in the area, but I thought I saw a small flock the other day, and this flock was feeding in various Alder Trees today.
here is a bit better look - this is the time of year that sometimes Redpolls are found with Siskin, but didn't appear to be any with this group.
