This was the first time I’ve seen hooded mergansers at Circle B Bar Reserve.

It was a rare beautiful morning in late January. This winter seems to be the year of the icky weekends. I know, it could be worse. I could actually be living up north where it SNOWS so I can’t complain. There’s still hundreds of white pelicans at the park but they usually stay pretty far away, across the lake. You have to catch them flying high overhead.  It was a quiet morning but a perfect morning for a long walk.

  1. Excellent photo set. Eagles make their winter home in our area as well. What majestic birds to watch. Happy Skywatching.

  2. Great photography. Where do you live? Because i’ve seen some Florida birds like the Ahinga.
