Birds?

I went birding today with a professor from school... we drove to a warm-water lake which is fed by a power plant. The hot water flowing into the lake keeps it from freezing, attracting many birds including uncommon waterfowl. Some highlights from the trip were: Ross' goose, snow geese, cooper's hawk, american black duck, white-fronted geese, eurasian collared dove, and 30+ Bald Eagles.

Can you spot the odd duck? It's an American Black Duck

100 DAYS?! What's the idea?

UPDATE: Currently I am sitting here at my computer trying to progress on my marine turtle research project (of course, in my Mountain Khakis) ... however, due to increasing amounts of schoolwork I will be postponing the "official" launch of the blog documenting 100 days in Mountain Khakis.

More to come soon...
