The landscape of Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area was peculiarly beautiful this morning; crystal-clear air, brilliant sunshine together with snow-crusted leafage produced spectacular scenery. On the other hand, the temperature was inward the mid teens (F), causing steam to rising from the opened upwardly pools together with injecting patchy fog from the following Missouri River.
Waterfowl, to a greater extent than oft than non mallards, congregated on what opened upwardly H2O remained together with large flocks of ducks wheeled inward a higher house the frozen landscape. Ten trumpeter swans lounged on an H2O ice covered pool, oblivious of the wintertime chill, together with a unmarried flock of snowfall geese passed overhead, on their means to less frigid climes. Several bald eagles together with 2 red-tailed hawks patrolled the floodplain, where massive flocks of red-winged blackbirds scoured the icy fields.
It was nature at its best, combining scenic beauty, the challenges of wintertime together with the fortitude of wildlife. Watching the activeness from the comfort of my heated pickup, I was forced to admit the relative vulnerability of modern man.
