I had a very good Christmas this year with lots of family and friends and even got to go out birding a bit. I went to the Las Vegas NWR with some family on the 26th for the first time in weeks and I was very surprised by what I found. Most of the lakes were completely frozen over and all the waterfowl were in fields adjacent to the refuge loop road. There must have been about 800 geese, 400 ducks and 4 Bald Eagles. The only thing not present were cranes (which was very odd for this time of year).
I also saw a couple Ferruginous Hawks and managed to get some good pictures of one of them (see above). But I have to say, driving at 30 miles per hour while hanging a big camera out the window is a bit nerve-wracking!
