Looking for birds before the big winter storm hits...

There is a winter storm coming. I didn't know this but now they name winter storms. The one coming is "Winter Storm Fern". Gosh...

Anyhow, I thought the cold weather might be pushing birds, ducks in particular, down south. Lake Devine in Leander had a lot of ducks a few weeks ago but the last time I was there, it wasn't mostly empty. I wanted to go check it out today to see how populated it was. I figure there were about 400 ducks there.

But as I looked at the ducks, I kept noticing other birds. Birds which were odd in Williamson county.

The images is one of each of the species I identified today: fifteen of them. The Ring-necked Duck is the frontmost duck in that image. The other ducks in the image are Redheads and American Wigons. The Wilson's Snipe is my first.

I hope you enjoy the images.
