Still wandering

Very sunny at the refuge yesterday, with several rough-leggeds, a red-tailed and a couple of kestrels to keep us company. The eagles and GBH's were way down the dike and not very approachable; pheasants ran in the fields showing off their colors, and a bald eagle buzzed me on his way to sitting on the ice.  The merganser remains in her place with the grebes altho' a couple of duck buddies she had there on Thursday have disappeared.
The road is pure ice from vehicles and melting - you do not want to slide off because you will not get back on the road very easily!
