This morning I decided to take a return drive to Lockport to see how the river looked there, as well as seeing what birds and/or critters I could find. Of course, I always like watching the water flowing through the locks as well.
Canada Geese flying overhead in Lockport 
The bridge & locks from a distance 
Ice, water and a tree branch in the river 
Closer look at one of the locks 
Side view of the locks 
zoomed in on some ice ready to go over 
Someone standing in the river fishing and if you look closely (or click on photo to enlarge) you can see the far side lined with geese
I headed back to the car and started driving – ending up at Oak Hammock Marsh. I decided not to do the trails as they would likely be a combination of slippery and wet, so I drove around to the north where I found birds. 🙂
These 4 photos were taken along a long stretch of the road. 
There were several hundred all together. 
line of Geese covered a long distance. 
Just a spot along the ditch that looked interesting 
this photo of Geese flying has a little Mallard Duck up in the top left of the photo. Click on photo to enlarge. 
These Canada Geese were closer than the others, so I took one more goose photo 
Sharp-tailed Grouse – there were about a dozen of them
After a few days of above normal temperatures, today was back to a chilly normal – with temperatures hovering around 0C. It looks like the next few days will be about the same. There was obviously fresh snow around Oak Hammock that we did not get in the city.
