Water and Ice

Even though we don't have any snow yet, it's been cold enough for water on the streams to freeze and create some nice ice formations. Still no snow in the forecast. A big change from last year when we had record snowfall. Maralee

The Landing Zone

Duck landing on the river

This time of year there are hundreds of ducks and geese on the river. Every few minutes some with either land or take off so I can get some practice at getting some shots of the birds flying and/or landing. These are a couple from two days ago. Maralee

Hooded Mergansers

There have been quite a few hooded merganser couples out on the water this week. They are another very interesting duck. They are very shy and will quickly move away when someone comes near. Maralee
