January 18

January 18, 2008 by OrientSee.

A very bright afternoon after a very gray morning. The rain lifted and the skies cleared into a shiny new day. It has gotten warm for January but a another arctic cold blast is coming in from the northwest to remind us that it is still January. Over in Rosie’s Pond, these ducks left off feeding as soon as the shutter clicked. Lunch over. The Cooper’s Hawk was brooding over the thicket from his almost hidden perch while the pheasant loudly complained about my presence. The snow cover is almost gone again and with it the tracks of the coyotes and all the birds that have been walking over the snow. Another nice day.

Ciao!
