Lake life

Posted By Robert Watters
The lake has finally thawed and is teaming with life.
I encountered several schools of shad? in the shallows that had thawed.

Belted KingFisher

Hard to tell from this angle but I think it's a female.
Doesn't seem to happy with my or other hiker/joggers presence and it managed to keep its distance so this is cropped a bit.

M97 & M108

Only 4 of my subs were salvageable (and these weren't so great) so this is short on exposure. There are several small, dim galaxies in there but might pose a challenge to see them with this web version.

Migration

Posted By Robert Watters
Poor shot but I just wanted to show a few of the water foul species that were migrating through my area about 3-1/2 weeks ago.

Front and center are some American Wigeons, a first for me. smile
Just behind them is a single RedHead.
To the right of the Redhead are a pair of Bufflehead.
The remaining are Scaups. Not sure which they are, Greater or Lesser.
Just out of frame to the right was a M&F Hooded Merganser.

Would have been a great day if the light/weather would have cooperated. smile
