Typical November

 The last while it has been a pretty typical November.....except for the water levels....

Which remain much higher than one would want right now.

Fortunately, they are now going down again, leaving a lot of scenes like this....

the last couple of days, the Bald Eagles have really been putting on a show!  All those black dots were just a few of them.

This young one was preening, trying to get dried out I guess.

There have been a lot of various waterfowl as well....

had to have been over 50 Common Merganser yesterday, and noticed them again today.

Every year a little flock of Bufflehead spend the winter in close to our area but this is the earliest I recall them showing up.  Usually they don't appear until some time in December.

Over at Harrison Bay....

some days there are eagles perched in trees all along the path....other days, there is hardly anything to be seen.

this was one of two perched right over head one day.

some days there are a lot of Black Capped Chickadees as well.

and I caught this Belted Kingfisher one day as well.
