Northern Cardinal at my feeder

I spent these three days getting ready for my trip, but did get a nice cardinal at my feeder. I had cardinals already, on January 1 at Pat Thomas’s feeder, but this was in my yard, in my feeder, and my mother-in-law also got to see it, so I was very pleased. I’m still at 47 species.

Cooperative Bald Eagle at Wisconsin Point

I spent all morning at home, but at 2 pm my son Tom and I headed to Wisconsin Point with Photon to see if I could finally see that Barrow’s Goldeneye who’s been hanging out with the Common Goldeneyes there. The bulk of the ducks were beyond the distance of conjecture somewhere out by the ice’s edge, and only a handful were in the Superior Entry–all Common Goldeneyes. We did make a Tom Prestby sighting, though.
