Feb 27, 2019: Blue Jay Way

Blue Jays can swoop in to a feeder and scatter birds that are already present.  They will hold the seed with their feet and then pick at the seed, whereas the sparrows will pop open the seed in their bills. (Wolf. Oesterreich, 2/26/19)

Feb 26, 2019: Precise Landing

With space at a premium and a foggy haze over the pool, these geese are much more precise in their landing techniques than they normally would be. (Kevin Kane, 2/21/19)

Feb 24, 2019: Opossum

This Virginia Opossum was found at the SW corner of the south lake, making its way through the deep snow.  Fortunately, there seems to be little frostbite damage to the ears. (Wolf. Oesterreich, 2/20/19)

Feb 22, 2019: Crowded Conditions

Fog rises from the only open water on the south lake, crowded with geese, ducks, and swans - one trying to get a bit of wing space. (Kevin Kane, 2/21/19)
