Wakarusa Wetlands Wonderland

I could not wait to get to the Wetlands this morning and experience the snow coming down. I arrived before the snow started and walked back as far as I could just waiting for those first flakes. I really needed that. There is something so amazing and renewing about walking in the falling snow. Click on pictures to enlarge.

A morning of eagles

Winters in Kansas mean bald eagles! We took a drive around the lake on Sunday morning and were delighted to find a host of bald eagles doing bald eagle things.  After the lake, we drove to our favorite bald eagle nest to see the parents back and taking care of nestorations.

Long-eared owl

I heard some crows giving someone a hard time on my walk this morning, so I zoomed in with the camera. I was very far away, and there was no accessible way to get a bit closer, but at the bottom of these pictures, there is a long-eared owl. How exciting! The crows gave up and left, but he continued sitting there.  Click on pictures to enlarge.
