This black-bellied whistling duck walking her ducklings down the street in St. Petersburg, FL. I didn’t even have to go looking. They came to me.

Yes it’s sleet and freezing rain. I wouldn’t be driving right now.

If you're in Myerstown, you're about 20 minutes from Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area. I don't know how much of the lake is frozen but I see that there were waterfowl(tundra swans, snow geese, ducks) and a sandhill crane reported in the last day or two.

This is a nasty invasive where I live. It spreads like crazy. When it flowers the scent is overwhelming for me. Very sickly sweet. I always end up with allergies when I get near it.

I steer clear of that plant! I can smell it when I get close to it. I know it has its uses but I get great big itchy, painful welts from it.

And they move up a tree pretty darn fast!
