Juanita Bay Park
Saturday February 6, 2016

Still cold. Still gray. Still winter. We headed for Juanita Bay Park to blow the cobwebs away. It's always nice to see a favorite place in a different season.

Here's the entrance to the half a mile long raised path.

Woohoo - first buds of the season!

I wonder what a story the pink gloves would tell?

The water in the Bay is high.

Many Cormorants sat on the stumps in the water.

Flotillas of Coots drifted here and there.

It sure is nice to be out!

Suddenly a gang of Hooded Mergansers paddled past.

Back and forth they went, on top of and under the water

Now we're moving on to the next boardwalk.

There were many ducks in the water, out of camera range.

A Wood Duck made his way down the small channel in the previous photo.

He bobbed around for a while so off we went to the next lookout.
Maybe we'd be closer to him.

There were many Green-winged Teal around today everywhere.
We also saw Pied-billed Grebes far off in the distance.
No more Wood duck though - phooey!

But wow - a Red-eared Slider Turtle! Amazing.

"Hmmppffff - where's the sunshine?'

Did I enjoy myself? You sure betcha!
See you soon, Juanita Bay Park!
