A Creeper sort of day

Slowly things are returning to normal.  Thanks to the warmer weather and rain, the depth of snow is gradually receding. The weather combination also created a lot of fog or mist today.

this was the scene at the boat launch this morning...but the amazing thing about this morning

were the number of Brown Creepers!  They were everywhere.

kind of hard to get pictures of fast moving little birds in the weather conditions.  Besides the creepers, there were Chickadee's both Black Capped and Chestnut-backed and...

even a Pacific Wren.

We made it as far as the first bay but the path, which is hazardous enough in ideal conditions, wasn't passable.

After lunch we made an attempt at walking at Harrison Bay....

Conditions weren't any better and then it started to rain, so the walk was cut short.

Misty snowy scene.

even so there were little birds in the bushes....Towhee, Song Sparrow, Junco, House Sparrow as well as Black Capped Chickadees and more of those Brown Creeper.

This was taken yesterday.....just a few of the many Anna's Hummingbirds hanging about in our complex this winter.
