Did anyone leave some binocs on my property on the way down the stairs to the dock? If so, contact me off-line. I noticed them this morning (spotted them through my binoculars) and brought them up to the house. They could have been left recently, or emerged out of the snow.
This morning before dawn I was awakened by a traffic pattern of what must have been thousands of geese flying south to north (sounded like mostly Canadas) and thousands of crows flying east to west. They obeyed the air traffic convention of maintaining separate altitudes (the crows lower). Pretty quiet on the surface of the lake north of Hog Hole today--a little while ago 5 active Buffleheads (2 males), one Common Loon, and a Redhead that looks like it got left behind. Three Turkey Vultures circled overhead earlier today. There seem to be more Blue Jays than usual judging from their voices.
