First Snow

Woke up on my birthday to the first snow of the year,
not quite an inch but magical just the same...



outside my window a party was going on by my
furry friends...

so happy to discover these ducks were back...

Was a lovely quiet day!

Sea Ducks

I love to watch the winter seabirds and am always
on the lookout when we visit the beach.

Earlier this week I was thrilled to see these
beautiful Grebes.

This afternoon we saw these Buffleheads!
They are adorable!
( first time I have ever seen them)
