Ducks, Swans, and Geese in February

Today was a wonderful day to be birding in Chatham-Kent.  A trip to the 

St. Clair National Wildlife Area yielded a full pond of waterfowl! I was lucky enough to identify

five different breeds in one marsh:

Tundra Swan

Canada Geese

Mallard

Northern Pintail

Bufflehead

And bonus - a pair of bald eagles were dancing about in the air above!

The last remaining evidence of the cold weather we had last week - no more snow, no ice, just a few frozen
drops on the branches closest to the water.
