Continuing w/ New Year’s Day 2025 content from Presque Isle State Park, with birds along the Old Gas Well Trail (extending from Waterworks to Marina Lake past the eponymous ‘old gas well’). As previously mentioned, weather was cold, rainy, & windy, but no ground snow.
Lots of American Tree Sparrow activity at this location (flock of 12+); nice to get a few shots of one ‘out in the open:’
Oil’s well that ends well!
In Presque Isle news, w/ the recent cold temps, as of yesterday the back bay (Presque Isle Bay) is mostly frozen over, same for outer Lake Erie around East Ave Boat Launch (see above) & similar locations. Great for “gulls on ice” + waterfowl (in areas of open water).
