The world is snowy again, with four or five inches of fresh snow falling yesterday. The sparrows and juncos were eager for their birdseed this morning, with a half a dozen mourning doves also waiting in the wings (no pun intended!). It was bitterly cold and very windy, with heavy cloud. Not a nice day to be outside!
I had an errand in Hamlton, and by the time I got there, the wind had abated somewhat, so I took a few minutes to stop at the harbour to see what ducks were there. I added several species to my Year List! Lesser scaup and redheads abounded, and there were many mallards, as well, plus a beautiful pair of mute swans. The photographic details were very difficult, with a dull grey sky, biting cold numbing my fingers, and the diffuse light being scattered and reflected by the wind-tossed water.
