I went out to Jackson Bottom Wetlands today. It was a cold, windy, rainy day, so a bit miserable out. But still gorgeous and peaceful, and lots of wildlife. It will be a great place to visit in about a month or so, when Spring will bring even more birds to the abundant ponds.
Species list for today:
- douglas squirrel, its so nice to see native squirrels since most of the squirrels around are non-native invasive species
- mink
- skunk
- juvenile bald eagle eating a dead, baby deer. pics turned out blurry but was totally cool
- red tailed hawk
- downy woodpecker
- chickadee
- mallard
