Yesterday

The nights are freezing cold but the days are still warm and sunny.

I walk in the same open field toward the dry tree where I last time saw the Bald Eagle but instead of Eagle I see the Ring-billed Gull at the same spot.

  

 

The Ring-billed Gull isn't skittish and I am able to get to it close enough to get this  photo.

Bear River is peaceful and beautiful but it started to freeze. 

December, January and February are the hardest months for birds who are all year residents at Bear River.  Some of them will survive, others wil not.

The American Crow is sending to others a message.  Is it a warning? Or something else... 

The Gull decided to take off, it is time for me also to leave.  I am still far away from Bear River Refuge and it's getting late.

Getting close to my car I see a family of Canada Geese. I didn't see Geese for a whole month and my heart bits a little faster.  Geese are far away but it really doesn't matter. I enjoy watching how they are slowly crossing the field.

On my way back home I am listening to one of my favorite Lennon's songs ''Imagine" on the radio. Yesterday forty years ago on December 8th John Lennon was murdered. 

This is my little tribute to a memory of John Lennon.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us

And the world will be as one 

You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one...
