Nothing big happened today. I took my husband and son for a day long drive up through Vermont along Lake Champlain. It was a gorgeous day for it. A bit of rain, but the light was fantastic.
We stopped at Dead Creek WMA, which looks like nothing at all to the untrained eye. There were the obvious, mallards, Red-winged Blackbirds, and Canada Geese. Looking carefully, I spotted my very first Nothern Pintail (it's about time!) and a pair of Green-winged Teal.
There were a ton of Snow Geese all across the countryside mainly in fields that had been tilled. I got a few good photos from a distance. I was up on a ridge and there were Snow Geese below in a field, some on the ground and others doing some great aerial displays.
Maybe I will post the pictures if they are neat.
Oh, and we saw a Camel. (same one I mentioned once before in a previous thread a few months back when I went searching for a Black-tailed Gull)
Just wanted to share a decent day out.
