Medical issues have kept me from doing much birding since mid-November, and I 've only been able to take short hikes.

I really wanted to photograph the Eurasian Wigeons at McCormick's Mill, so I did a short hike there.

I'm doing better and was able to take a longer hike this morning. The temperature was in the upper 30s, and there was solid cloud cover, but I was able to log 31 avian species. We don't get a lot of ducks here, and rarely any gulls, so the golf course pond was a treat.
