Bad Hair Day?

Saw this Hooded Merganser while hiking on a warmer day. She is not a colorful as the adult males. It was still great to see her.

A Different Red

Wow, it happened ... we saw our first Red-winged Blackbird of the season. This is a little earlier than last year but only by a few days. The fog was thick so the photos were not great. In the coming days I will get a better photo.

Hey, we were hear first!

It is always interesting when the deers curiosity seems to be more important than running away. It didn't last long.

Edge Of The Ice

I was not prepaared to take this photo. In fact, all I had was my iPhone. This Great Blue Heron found herself on the edge of the ice flow while looking for lunch in the Stillwater River.
