I got a ‘snow day’ today, a nice day to take it easy and take a walk around Greenbelt Lake before running some errands. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of birds on this cold, wet day. Here are a few of the birds that were out and about:

This Canada Goose looked more like a Bloodhound pointing at his target while the Red-Tailed Hawk played peek-a-boo.

The Hermit Thrush was foraging in a muddy stretch of the path while the Chickadee was foraging in the briars.

A lone Red-Head Duck (the only one I’ve seen this season) was dozing off in the midst of a half-dozen Ring-Necked Ducks.

One of the Ring-Necks swam close enough to really show off his colors.
