Wind and snow flurries, Ogden.

 

                                    Ogden, early morn.
                                        A good year for Treecreepers



                                    Grub up.



                                    1 pr Tufted duck

                                    Battling the waves.



A strong, icy cold wind this morning with a near gale WSW>7 at 35 mph gusting gale force WSW>8 at 41 mph but sheltered on the west bank. A mixture of sunshine and showers with a few early snow flurries at 1 degree.
    One would think, with the law of averages, that something would have shown up at Ogden this year but yet another quiet morning with just 1 pair of Tufted on the water as well as 2 Canada geese, 3 Black Headed and a single Common gull as well as the usual Mallards.
     The West bank trees had gone back into quiet mode from yesterday, with just the usuals, plus a good count of Treecreepers, which have been a common species at this site this year. A single Grey Wagtail was moving around the overflow area.
     Looking like a bright sunny day tomorrow with a light westerly kicking off at 1 degree.
