These are my other shots from Howell on Wednesday.

The boardwalk leading back into the wooded area.

Beaver damage?

Perfect balance

OK....this one looks like a butterball turkey waiting to be put in the oven!
I took lots of geese shots, but will save them for some other day.

Saw several logs covered in this lovely orange fungi. I love the pattern and color.

Another view

This one had these veins of white between the orange.

Some older fungi on an upright tree.

Covered and lovely

We saw 3-4 Robins really digging in the leaves hoping for some nice dinner.

One of the bridges.

Ice patterns on the water's edge

Curly bark on a downed Birch

A few home birds to round things off. I've still got 3-4 Bluejays hanging around each day.

Mr. Mean!
This Mockingbird has become a real pest trying to scare everyone else away from the feeders and keep everything for himself. Greedy!

Protecting the suet.

He was bothering a couple of Carolina Wrens that wanted some suet....

.....one of them refused to leave and "told him off" with a few tail flips and wing flaps. It was pretty funny but hard to photograph :-)

You have taken great photos on the walk. Ice on the water sounds a bit cold. Your bird shots are fabulous.
I had to chuckle at your picture of the butterball turkey -- what a great picture and caption. Actually all of your pictures are wonderful.
Diane: At the moment it is WAY TOO COLD here! And snow!
George: He just looked so funny, I couldn't resist. He better watch out....he'll have people thinking goose for dinner.

Hi Mary, Beautiful pictures of the wetlands --and of your birdies. We don't have any Mockers here --but we do have a very un-shy Carolina Wren--who loves the feeders.
Hugs,
Betsy--the Snow Lover!!!
My goodness, you have some excellant shots here Mary. I love all the fungi. I never seem to notice any in the winter.
