Past time to migrate

Anne was at Erieau Tuesday December 30/08 looking for ducks and white fronted geese.

The white fronted had moved on but she did hear a kingfisher from the orther side of the Erieau channel.

Another birder pointed ou this bird taling shelter behind an old willow.


If you look closely you can see a clump of ice around its ankle.



Way past time to migrate dude!

This is a new one as far as we know. We haven't had an antlered deer in close before.
Anne puts out a small cracked corn for the deer.

Notch is back for the third year in a row.
Normally she has a young one with her, but not this year.

It's nice having an identifying mark so you know it is the same one returning each winter.

Taken through the wonderful wildlife window.

The moustache tree is very rare and the handlebar moustache variety is rarer still

I have yet to see a soul patch tree.

He became a regular to the displeasure of the hummers
