mtn. bluebird at Lake Arbor

[williebondo]

Walking around Lake Arbor in Aravada this morning, found a lone female mtn. bluebird sitting in a small tree.  Very few ducks around the aerator holes in the ice.  Few shovelers, few mallards, and the odd duck family of mallard/domestic hybrids.  Very few white cheeks, even.  Very quiet, except for the ice singing on the lake.  Seems you usually only hear that when the ice cover is complete.  I've heard it very loud up at Jackson Reservoir before.  Very odd noise.
