This morning was probably the best weather (for what I do) that I have seen all year. There is still a little snow here and there with some mucky mud as you get closer to the river bank. Not a lot going on in the bird department still. My Belted Kingfisher girlfriend was on her station and my dependable Great Horned Owl was in his spot snoozing away. Featured is a Mallard Drake who was flying upriver in search of the right spot to dabble the morning away. I hope this weather holds for a while and that that will entice some more birds back to the park.
