End of January:

Yesterday morning we found 3 American Coots in the Sarnia Bay. After mentioning in my last post about their lobed toes I wanted to photograph their feet. I was pleased with the photos we captured, but didn't realize that one of the birds was taking a pee break until the image was on the computer screen! LOL!

Duck tracks in the slushy ice just before it froze.

Hundreds of ducks and geese were gathering 

at the last open water hole in the Sarnia Bay.

Ice that was forming in Lake Huron was

 starting to make its way down the St. Clair River.

We watched 2 Bald Eagles perform aerial manoeuvres high in the sky. They 

didn't appear happy to see one another as they made aerial contact several times.

This species breeds in the Arctic.

The full moon was spectacular this week. Hope you got to see it!
