I’ve almost finished vice, but that’s going to have to wait until tomorrow since I got at the gym at 6:30, left at 9:00, walked the dog until 10:20 and then was forced to take a bird walk for several hours when the sun suddenly appeared this afternoon contradicting predictions of rain.

I only got as far as Ruston Way, and, with the exception on not sighting the Belted Kingfisher, I only got pictures of birds I usually see, like this Bald Eagle that flew overhead,

a pair of Common Goldeneyes necking, a mating phenomena I’ve noted several times in the last few years,

and another close-up of a Surf-Scoter, all of them marked by interesting reflections.

All in all, it was a most enjoyable day, reminding me just how good I really have it.
