#MondaysAreForTheBirds!

On Saturday we ended up in far northern Missouri so we decided to swing by US Fish and Wildlife’s Loess Bluffs refuge.

Despite being bitterly cold, and all of the pools frozen over, there were still a few Bald Eagles looking for musk rats.

And I saw my first IRL Western Meadowlarks. They were so much bigger than I expected. And so many of them 😳

Didn’t have my cam, but some weren’t shy.. iPhone shot.

A medium sized scruffy tan bird with its back toward me. It is looking over its shoulder so you can see a tan eyebrow and some yellow under its chin. It is standing in a meadow with snow covering all but the tallest strands of grass

We went to see the winter birds in #SauvieIsland, most especially the #SandhillCranes. They are the largest species of crane in North America and their distinctive call is haunting. We also saw #BaldEagle, #HarrierHawk, #Kestrel, #SnowGoose, #CanadaGoose, #Coot, #ScrubJay, #RedwingBlackbird, #WesternMeadowlark, and a few others. What a gorgeous day!

If you go, don't forget to buy a wildlife parking permit at the store next to the bridge.

Blue sky and clouds are reflected in a pond in the foreground. In the distance dry winter grass and corn stubble contain hundreds of Sandhill cranes calling to one another.
A rain-swollen creek is glassy smooth, reflecting a jumble of clouds, while waterfowl feed in the shallows near the grassy banks on either side.

Visited Carson Valley today after the big snow storm. Spotted a massive flock of Western Meadowlarks. Also saw numerous hawks, primarily red-tailed. Swung by two duck ponds, one of which had a cute bufflehead pair. Sunlight revealed a California scrub jay nestled among the branches.

A pair of Western Meadowlarks perched on the long handle of an irrigation gate. Their bright yellow body with pale black V mark on their chest is striking against the snowy white background.
A (likely? dark head, white chest, dark belly band) red-tailed hawk perched on the top of a snow covered wooden structure.
A bufflehead pair, male and female, preening themselves in a neighborhood pond. The pale dim sunlight is barely making the male's iridescent head feathers show, but slight races of purple and blue are visible. The female is turned away from the camera, her white cheek patch the only mark on her dark body.
A California Scrub Jay, with a black beak, bright blue head and back, dull grey and white chest, and a white eye line over a dark black eye, stands on a branch surrounded by snow piled up in a tree.
