Lone Jack & the MO river


I spent the morning at Lone Jack CA. The lake was misty and the shallow parts had frozen overnight. The remenants of wednesdays flurries were still very visible. There were many hunters: waterfowl, rabbits and deer. The cops patroled the parkinglot; I guess they had nothing better to do ?
I walked around the area and saw many squirrels to shoot- I never pulled the trigger as I didnt think that cleaning them in the crisp 23*F was going to be very much fun. I really wanted a duck or some quail, though I never found any. I heard some geese- found an opening and waited. A few snow geese flew over. THey were high and I never got a good opportunity to shoot. A few Canadas flew nearby, and well within my range. I didnt think that they were in season- I was right.
I saw many birds, and had a nice conversation with a tiny kinglet. The yellow-topped bird chattered at me only a few feet away. I had left my camera in the car, but enjoyed him very much.

PARKVILLE, MO

After returning from lone jack, I accompanied my mother for a walk along the Missouri River. We strolled over a mile of sandbar- there were no winds, and the surface of the river was glass aside from the occasional fish jumping. It was peaceful and serene, and the sounds of the birds and the river set the mood.

Come sunset, the ducks and geese filled the sky and shattered the silence. It clouded over, but the sun was bright.
