We are finally getting a touch of 'winter'....
this was the scene at Harrison Bay yesterday afternoon....it looks lovely and sunny, and it was as long as you didn't look at the very dark clouds all the way around...
today wasn't as sunny, the clouds were still around, but not as dark, and as you can see, we'd had a bit of snow. It was quite pleasant walking though, as long as you could stay out of the wind, which was why we did the walk out towards the Fraser, rather than our normal one.
there were a couple of Bald Eagles....this one perched on pilings.....
a Belted Kingfisher was also making use of the pilings.
the scene as we headed back....
now apologies for the next picture, if anyone is creeped out by rodents....skip past quick...but my little dog, a breed of which, whose original purpose was to find and dispose of these things...spotted this on the beach under the railway bridge....
a rat... they are part of the ecosystem after all....as long as they stay there!
the campground is nice and quiet right now, that will change as it is due to open the beginning of March.
Back at home, nothing like a bit of snow to bring birds to the feeders...
this Northern Flicker was around today...
one of many Song Sparrows....
and then there are the Anna's Hummingbirds....they are everywhere. This little guy has the heated feeder staked out as his own.
