Today was almost sunny! Of course it still had to shower for part of the walk but still....
It was a very pleasant walk. There was a flock of Red wing Blackbirds calling from the tops of trees in this area which sounded like spring - have to remember it isn’t even officially winter yet!
In spring we will be watching for swallows and purple Martin, but today it was Bald Eagles making use of the pilings.
While a Belted Kingfisher made use of another
The log bay was busy with a variety.....here a male Mallard
An Olympic Gull
And female Merganser
Just out in front of the bay, quite the assortment, a male Common Merganser in front, a little female Bufflehead behind, a few Hooded Merganser and the rest are Gadwall
Trumpeter Swans as well.....then speaking of swans
A family was in the first bay....not sure I’ve ever seen that before, usually by this time of the year there isn’t any water here.
Here is a better look at the family
Also enjoying the sunshine on the far shore was a total of 7 Great Blue Heron, only 3 in this photo.
