Winter Birds

Well some winter birds

 There are bunches of House Finches and they brighten up the feeder area

 I have been watching this nest for several years.  I once was a Red tailed Hawk nest but for the last 3 or 4 years nothing so I was surprised when I saw something and that turned out to be an Owl.  So I have been told that Great Horned Owls will use abandoned Red tail Hawk nests or actually steal them away.  Interesting.

 The Valley is full of Trumpeter Swan wintering over coming from Northern Alaska

 I tried to capture some loners

 with visiting Ducks

 Northern Pintail
