Snow

We awoke Sunday December 14 to a blanket of snow.  Everything so bright.   Josh even woke up in the middle of the night thinking he'd left a light on!  For twenty four hours,  before the wind came back up,  the wet flakes clung to the trees and bushes , softening the severe winter landscape.

Our Sunday morning birder group of four:  Ginger Andrews,  Tom Griswold,  Lynn Zimmerman and me were rewarded by Redheads on Miacomet Pond,  tree sparrows and dark eyed juncos.  And of course many buffleheads, wigeons, gadwall, ring-necked ducks, ruddy ducks, coot and mallards.

On Saturday, December 13, Great Point is sere,  with clouds tumbling over the sea.  We go to enjoy the awe-full scenery...only two other cars viewed during our trip.    

One of those two other cars at Great Point was Harvey, Tom, Trish  and Lynn Zimmerman...who saw a Snowy Owl  at the Galls on the harbor side.  A beautiful male pintail reigns at the Great Point Lagoon.
