At dawn, the third quarter moon was overhead, with the half facing the dawn illuminated. The light was very pink and gold. Suddenly the ground is covered with leaves.The day has been beautifully sunny but very cold. My fingers froze on the camera and the light breeze made my skin ache. But the creek was glassy and I caught the kingfisher in level sunlight. Then some ducks passed over that I think may be wood ducks. I also saw the usual geese, gulls, herons, crows, and cormorants.
The feeder is empty but it will have to wait till tomorrow.
Checking Peterson, the ducks are definitely wood ducks in their winter "eclipse" drab. The kingfisher is a female.
