Waiting for Spring:

After experiencing mild weather last week, many of us are looking forward to the return of more migrating birds. Lake Huron has not been an inviting place lately.

Birds are more easily found at feeding stations. A Northern Cardinal and Black-capped Chickadee were willing to share the stump.

A Dark-eyed Junco patiently awaits its turn to get seed.

A light coloured Mallard Hen

Mallard Drake and his shadow. The purplish-blue speculum, outlined in white, is visible on the wing. It is easier to see when the bird is in flight.

I liked the look of lichens covered in ice after a recent storm.
