I hope everyone has a very HAPPY and Healthy New Year!!

Our January 1 2012 was a somewhat of a mild day and hubby and I had to get out and take a walk. Hubby and I both love to hike and being outside and enjoying nature. Some say they are ringing in the New Year but hubby and I did some birding in the New Year. I started a new list of birds seen for 2012 and I got off to a great start with 25 birds. The day started with my first bird heard was the Barred Owl, I was standing outside at 5:30 am with my dog when I heard the owl.
The mosaic above I have some shots from Loch Raven Reservoir. Birds seen here were lots of Canada Geese, Mallard ducks, Ring-necked ducks, Buffleheads, lots of gulls and two eagles.
A closer look at the ring-necked ducks.
I was able to take a video of two eagles playing around over the reservoir.
I had a great day and I hope everyone else did something they really enjoy. I wish everyone all the best in 2012 and a very Happy New Year!!!!

The photos above are some of my backyard birds, the American Goldfinch, Carolina Chickadee and the Bluejay.

Loch Raven is one of three reservoirs that supply water for Baltimore City. On the weekends they close off part of the road around the reservoir so people can hike, bike and jog right on the road. It seemed like a lot of people had the same idea as hubby and I and were out walking their dogs. Goldie Girl was a happy dog today.
