First Wood Ducks I have seen since last fall. They were pretty far out in the weeds.

After a few warm days and a south wind a lot of birds are starting to show up around here including these Blue Herons and a Hooded Merganzer.

They estimate 5000+ swans on the lake or in the general area. Lake still has some ice on it.

Those are not bugs...It's Snow Geese returning from the fields to the lake.

That's a LOT of geese!!

Went to the wildlife preserve with the Grandson today.

 

[Alan]

Almost as many people as geese at the lake today.

My 3 year old grandson wanted to take some pictures with my camera. It's a little tilted but nothing I can't fix if I want to.

yes, and it looks as if he followed the rule of thirds. Won't be long before he wants his own camera.

Thanks Guys, I figure it is what he saw so didn't play with it. Ron I did get him a Playskool digital for Christmas but he still likes to use his Mom's and mine if he get the opportunity. It's a 3 years old thing.

Cool indeed. If he gets ahold of your I phone you may not get it back

He knows how to get the camera open on my Galaxy S4 and can take selfies. These kids are just too tech savvy.

American Wigeons and Ring Neck Ducks. It was overcast and windy and the lake was very choppy as you can see by the position of the female Wigeon.
