I got out and did a little birding yesterday to enjoy this heat wave. I went up to RRL and found 9 geese sitting on the ice and one kestrel. The lake is still completely frozen over, and this is the first time I have seen it in this condition in several years. I then took off and went over to Crawfish Valley in hopes of finding some landbirds. I did find a Hermit Thrush, but this was the only bird of note.
