Brrrrrr

Clear and sunny but cold today!  M, M and G (Mom, Murphy and Gerry) visited the refuge, hot coffee cup in hand!

Two bald eagles were waiting for us, one on each set of dead tree limbs on the stretch before Goose Egg Hill.  Beautiful to just sit and watch. 



Down the road at the end of the dike a pied-billed grebe swam around.  There are quite a few larger grebes (Western and/or Clark's) that either mix in with the large number of ducks or swim solitarily around the boat launching site along the road.  The pied-billed are smaller and less flashy, but still very cute.

Back on Glover's lane on the way out, we saw this young Redtail - I'm still working on the picture.

We took the road by the east entrance back and saw a Great Blue Heron in the meadow - looking for voles and stuff, I'm guessing.
