The sun teased us again on Thursday afternoon, so I headed to Logans Landing for some waterfowl and reflection pictures. A variety of ducks and geese preened and fished along the edge of the ice, but this Mute Swan captured my interest the most. The swollen nob at the base of its bill indicated that breeding season is coming. Spring, too.
I took these pictures last weekend, when the ice on the bays and other places was really solid. I’m not sure I’d trust it now after the warmup we’ve been having.
I spotted two eagles in distant trees near the marina. One flew off immediately, but the other remained on a branch. While I was hoping to catch it in flight, the eagle stayed put, looking out for fish and preening its feathers. Always a thrill to see this majestic bird.
