Ice House Pond

 The hooded mergansers showed at Ice House Pond about 3-4 weeks ago.  There were eight of them for that first week.  They may still all be there, but I'm not seeing them.  Zero over the weekend, one male today.  I need to ramp up my visits.

Today I had my best ever look at a golden-crowned kinglet.  Three of them, in fact, and 15 minutes of close-up action.  One did have the orange tinge shown below.  The birds looked-great.
