went for a walk in the snow; took a *lot* of pictures, so I'll need to curate out the best ones.
saw what I'd bet $20 was a Cooper's hawk, though I didn't get a clear enough look for a positive ID, and the bufflehead duck is back on our pond! he's been wintering here every year we've been here. he's very shy, though, so he's hard to photograph, but I think I got a couple of clear shots of him.
