I appreciate the subdued color scheme. jay (it’s disturbing to see the former site)

I always thought it was supposed to be three twists and only three. ? Jay

I’ve gained a lot by learning from folks I’ve fished with, or met at a lake. also, on any given day stuff I overhear may be helpful. Overhearing some say the fish are suspended mid-water-column has been most helpful as I rarely figure that out on my own. Jay

@Cabezon This is interesting, after making that comment about cackling geese with white neck rings, I noticed a couple of geese with white neck rings in this photo of the three trumpeter swans we have here now. (this particular photo, and frames from the same morning, was a week ago) Alot...

Interesting that you got some Cacklers w the white neck ring . jay

Here are face/bill shots of the juvenile trumpeter we had here a couple of years ago.

Here is a better close up of the head. From your info: Tundra: yellow spot as blurry white spot on juvenile I think this bird has it. that seems like a great clue. Two winters ago we had a juvenile trumpeter here all winter, it had alot of pink on a big black bill, and no light spot like...

There has been a dark phase red tailed hawk hanging out nearby this winter. Its a pretty spooky bird and I rarely get close to it.

Enjoy seeing your shots. I’ve been there too seeing the bluebirds. also hanging out, have seen varied thrush and hermit thrush as firsts for me, and a sharp shined hawk, down in the trees. Jay.
