What a Bill

One more stop before the sun sets and what do we find? One of my favorite ducks, a Northern Shoveler. But as luck would have it, the sun set just as we found him. One of these days, I will get a good photo of a Shoveler!

A sure sign that Winter is on it's way, was the arrival of the Redpolls. The Redpolls only come south, when the Boreal Forest in Canada is running short on Birch Tree seeds. This happens about every three years. The last time this occurred, we had record snow fall for our area. Could this be a sign?
