December 21st.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

December 22nd.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

December 23rd. Pre-dawn near the Route 85 trail head.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The speck is one of several birds flying by left to right.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A few scattered kaleidoscope captures as a Christmas bonus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Starting to fade.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Alternate branching, with one side dominating to a degree, being the leader until the next branching. Or just an abstract pattern on snow.

 

 

December 24th. An unexpected pre-dawn sky, a bit later than yesterday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Faded by the time I got to the main marsh...

 

 

...but came and went a bit after that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cracks in the ice by the old stump.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An old bird nest.

 

 

A male Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Winter Stoneflies (Family Capniidae, probably Allocapnia sp.) were out in numbers near the Route 85 trail head.
