Frozen at the creek 2

Frozen at the creek
The variable cold weather so far this year has stratified some of the surface ice on the local creeks and streams. This is the stream from the beaver bog and it is still flowing underneath the ice you see here. Most of the snow cover is very crusty and icy, also as a result of some dramatic temperature differences among our storms this season.
A look at the geese again
The overflight of canada geese from the last few days of 2018 in southern Connecticut deserves another look…..
Winter landscaping
From about a month ago over on the beaver bog, we noted some recent tree trimming along the banks of the creek that supplies most of the water for the bog.

Black ducks in the marsh
A small gang of black ducks (most likely) were quietly encamped in the middle of the (so-called) great or grand marsh on a Sunday in December.
Shaking like a hawk
At a turn in the road, we spotted this hawk hanging about. It was overcast and this limited my modest abilities at identification, but I knew it was a hawk! Looks like a red-shouldered hawk that has seen better days.
