Last of 2014 wildlife. Hope for better tomorrow.
I was driving down a state road and saw this in the trees. I took this maddeningly out of focus photo of a red-tail out the car window.
Briefly stopped at the swan pond.
Frozen over but interestingly the critters were unconcerned. I guess they have bird sense that it's supposed to get up to the high 40's (F) this weekend.

The larger town lake was not frozen over and there is not normally anything much happening there but today a belted kingfisher in a tree over the town beach.

It flew to the opposite side of the beach. Sun is still a problem.
