Beautiful Ducks Arriving As Ice Departs...

The ice is finally leaving our local streams and rivers.  As soon as the water clears colorful waterfowl seems to arrive.  This morning I photographed this pair of Hooded Mergansers and Mallards on a nearby small stream...







Evidence that noting is wasted in nature is demonstrated by what remains of this deer carcass that I first photographed in late December...


And again today, the last day of February...
