winter at noxubee

'Winter' is relative here. It was a glorious 60 degrees outside today, and with the sun shining, all I needed was a light sweater.

There were a ridiculously large number of birds this morning at Noxubee, and they were creating a very great ruckus. I need to study up on my bird identification, but I think I saw mostly herons, egrets, wood ducks, cormorants, ibises, and a couple of bald eagles. I don't have a telephoto lens, so I couldn't get very good close-ups, but I did manage to catch a couple of guys who ventured towards me. The cardinal was a very curious little fellow -- he followed me along the trail for a while before flying off.
