Eagles' Winter Feeding Ground ~ Dec 2011 - Mar 2012

I think so too.
It could also be a branch

I was going to say it looks like a clump of grass, but then I saw its eyes I think it is a clump of grass

You had me for just a split second!

[alice44]

I think a trick of the eyes, Fleur. I think it is a big clump of grasses.

It is so windy today & it looks very cold. I like the patterns made in the ice when the water froze.

I was not sure what was making the patterns -- maybe ice and receding water but I have been thinking about how beautiful they are.

Yes, I saw that, a wonderful photo.

Snow flakes are blowing at us, aren't they?



(You can tell I live in a warmer climate because I thought they were bugs flying around -- although currently small puddles are frozen here, so it is colder than usual.)

[Kitty KCMO]

It looks kind of like a snow mist with some larger flakes blowing by once in a while.

We have had very little snow this winter so far, very unusual. Seven "snow events" but less than one inch of snow!

[alice44]

But I think maybe the ground is getting whiter.

[Fleur]

I have not seen one snowflake yet, only rain and wind.
Unusually for the time of the year.
Today we have a little sun.

[Kitty KCMO]

But I think maybe the ground is getting whiter.

I think you are right. The areas on the pond that are surrounded by the dark lines are definitely getting lighter colored. And the dark lines are beginning to disappear, I think.

[alice44]

That tree that is sometimes at the right and sometimes sort of in the middle -- all we can see of it is the trunk -- that tree is really moving in this wind.

[Jo UK]

There is not much snow on the ground, and apparently no food has been put out yet. Is it going to be another bird-free day? Maybe those two ravens will arrive.

[Kitty KCMO]

They are going to have to arrive without me. I need to log off for bed now, it is quarter to 3:00 AM for me. I'll enjoy any videos & pictures by everyone else when I come back. So Goodnight / Good day, everyone! I am .

[alice44]

good night

[Fleur]

good night Kitty

That tree that is sometimes at the right and sometimes sort of in the middle -- all we can see of it is the trunk -- that tree is really moving in this wind.

Maybe we could try to invent names or numbers for the different parts of the scene. That tree needs a name or description. Then there is the middle clump. And those tall trees in the distance, where the ravens were yesterday - -

[alice44]

Sounds good.

If we all try to describe which clump every time we post we will wear ourselves out. I do not have much brain power tonight but I can help if needed tomorrow.

I think of the trees in the middle as being on the center island. Oh but I just realized there is a smaller "island" to the left of the center one with just one tree.

[Jo UK]

Sleep well! Centre island - fine. You spell it your way and I will spell it my way and everyone understands us!

[alice44]

Sometimes when the wind roars I am very glad it is just a camera out there.

For fast orientation to an examined field, I suggest to allocate reference points and to name them as it is specified in a photo
