This morning was FREEZING cold...about -2F. Not sure how much snow fell the night before, but would guess somewhere between 8-10 inches of snow. I still decided to get my butt out of the hotel at dawn and make it out to the Monte Vista WLR. The sky was blur and clear and lots of fog coming from the ponds. Here are a few. I have soooo many shots to still go through (haven't even looked at the shots from this evening yet) and I am still here through tomorrow morning.
This first one hopefully shows the chaos of these birds early morning. Also realized the first shot needs a slight CCW rotation....up too late.

All very cool, but I sure love the corrected version of that first one. Great mood shot!
Where'd you stay, Kurt?

Kurt- great shots! I will be doing this next week at Grand Island, Ne.- can't wait for the cold, windy weather predicted. Looking forward to more of your shots.
Great collection! We hope you weren't out there in your Bermuda shorts. T'was a bit colder than Georgetown. The corrected shot would make a beautiful B&W.
Another fine series, but that corrected version of the flock is outstanding!
Kudos for hauling your butt out of bed on this wintry morning...you were well rewarded.
