The two large (for the location) Mountain Hemlocks in the middle of this photo are ones I've noticed since I was young. It looks like the one on the left may have died.
Continued mostly sunny and cool. Temperatures in the low 30s during the day.
I didn’t get out much today. I made a couple of brief explorations either side of recording a conversation for my radio show tomorrow.
Depending on weather over the next few weeks, there may be some additional accumulation at higher elevations, but probably not much
A Ring-necked Duck was reported in the channel again today. I found out it had been seen by itself on the far side across from the ramp at UAS.
I worked a little harder to see if I could refind it. I looked from the ramp a couple different times, and also checked spots from Katlian Street. I didn’t have any luck finding the duck, but did see an American Coot. It had been reported a couple times earlier in the winter in the area by the float plane dock. I hadn’t bothered to go look for it. It was nice to see it today.
This coot moved off the lake last fall and has spent the winter along the channel
