Visiting Lake Tahoe near the Gregorian New Year with my sweetheart and experiencing the strangeness of record high December temperatures, the slowness of the tourist traffic due to the lack of snow (and lack of steep discounts from the ski resorts for the horrible ski conditions) and the beauty of Tahoe without the throngs and/or the typical seasonal expected conditions pulled this little ditty out of my consciousness:
Three bald eagles float
above Fallen Leaf Lake in
December's sunset
***I should add that though the birding was not great (due to the below freezing overnight temps), we did see a pair of buffleheads, a male wood duck and these three baldies.
