First day of December and the rain is slowing down....
the water levels at the estuary are high, but seem to be holding steady which is a good thing, rather than rising. You can see the weather isn't quite done with us yet, it was raining up the valley...looks like it could be snow, but with a freaky warm temperature of 15 c , it was rain.
After lunch we managed to dodge the traffic on our poor little highway (the only route into and out of the entire lower mainland at the moment) to do our usual walk over at the dyke...
the fields are wetter than they were a couple of days ago...
that pump down there is what is keeping everything more or less under control.
it was very windy over there today so there wasn't much in the way of birds to be seen, but this Pileated Woodpecker flew right towards this tree, so easy to spot....
When we headed home, we drove a little ways up beside the estuary area, and found that was where...
the eagles were hanging out. They were everywhere, circling over head, out on the flats,
perched in trees....
and more trees....
and yet more trees! Unfortunately that is a very narrow road with no where to pull off, not even a shoulder....so couldn't take full advantage.
