Sorry, more birds

Life gets pretty routine in the winter - Seniors Centre fitness classes, the occasional social visit, - mostly hooking, knitting, reading. When I go for a walk the camera comes along too.

First of all the hooking. Winter Fox, designed by Carolyn Stich, is finished and in the Woodhouse Gallery in Port Dover. I thoroughly enjoyed hooking him and am quite pleased with how he turned out.

 
Visit to the Silver Lake Market on a grey Saturday and one end of the lake is iced over.


The other end is still open with Buffleheads, Geese and Mallards.

Black Squirrel this time

all fluffed up on the cold.

Rick and I took our annual pilgrimage to see the Sandhill Cranes and they didn't disappoint.

Digging around in the corn stubble

in the fields along Front Road, Port Rowen.

Up in the air and

making their strange, warbling calls.

Crossing the Causeway

I think he is a Northern Harrier.

A patch of open water had Trumpeter Swans, ducks and Geese.

Driving back across the Causeway there was a Sandhill family close to the road.

Digging in the sticky mud of the marsh.

and drinking in the few available puddles.
