March 08, 2022 – Repost

On the road today to visit family. Here’s a chance to relive March 08, 2022. Pretty much the same stuff as 2024 so far.

Not many fishermen or ducks on the river and only one gull on the fishing pond. The real activity was mostly the melting snow – which ended up staring in today’s featured image. I liked the combination of snow and last Summer’s leaves. Snow is also captured in the image posted…

Environment:Start Time: 7:25 AM Temperature: 39 degrees Sky: Sunshine. Blue Jays were the only birds that wanted to be on the Internet today. There was very little happening out on the trails.

Sightings:Birds: Canada Geese, Mallards, Gadwalls, Buffleheads, Pied-billed Grebes, Gulls, Great Horned Owl, Wild Turkeys, Doves, Northern Flickers, Blue Jays, White-crowned Sparrows, Great Blue Herons, Black-capped Chickadee, BushtitsCritters: Tree Squirrels, Prairie Dogs, Mule Deer KINGSYARD HEAVY DUTY METAL MESH BIRD FEEDER Gear:…
