Lots of Colour on The Vermilon River. A Post to WBW

Close Up

These guys are food loyal only and in a sense are nomadic bandits plundering berries where they can so their mask suits them.

I just decided to give you a taste of the incredible colour in these guys. They are both here during the winter, but the bohemians are here all year, while the RedPolls are winter migrants. Against a snowy background you can see how bright these fellows are, so gray skies and white snow are really not so bad, and are actually a grand background.

American Crow

Of course, they also appear brighter against basic black.

River Bank



Small Falls

 As I said spring comes in fits and starts in the north. Today is overcast, about 40F and raining.  The snow, now crystallized, is melting away, but slowly in the forest and along the river bank because of the shade from the trees. This situation still inhibits Boom and I from the more rugged trails. I'd say another week, but we could still get snow.

A Gaggle of Geese.

 These Geese are just standing on one foot. They are not injured.

The Open River



Close Up of Open Water

 More areas in the river are continuing to open up.

Close Up

 Canada Geese arrive, but the RedPolls are still hanging on. It's sort of a mix of spring and winter.

Robin

If RedPolls are a winter visitor then the Robin is an early sign of summer.


Ring-billed Gull


 The Gulls seem to be around all the time but move closer to the water as the ice melts.

Northern Crow

Isn't he the perfect guy to say: " Have a good day!!"
