Morning Report Jan 2

The lake ice was everywhere except along the dam today. That thin strip of open water was an airport for Waterfowl, Mallards, Shovelers, Geese, Rudy Ducks, Wood Ducks, Coots and the lone Bufflehead we’ve been seeing. We started our walk greeted by a Red Tail, ended nearly with seeing Abby, the female Eagle. She sat in the tree, south corner before the bridge, mostly motionless. The dogs got twisted up and nearly opened me on the rock path down the hill by the parking area north side. My head been woozy ever since, getting a bit better this afternoon. Too many noises feel like needles piercing my brain. Hopefully better this evening. Anyhow, lots and lots of birds in small spot.
