Oxbow NWR, 12/30

I spent the late morning/early evening at Oxbow National Wildlife Refuge. The weather was warm an sunny but there wasn't much wildlife activity. On the road into the refuge, two Red Tail Hawks were just beginning to take to the air. Inside at the beaver pond, I spooked a Great Blue Heron. It looked pretty healthy but I have no idea where it was getting food since all of the water I saw was frozen. Along the trails, I got a good look at a Golden Crowned Kinglet searching for food. I could hear two or three individual birds but only found one. Other than these birds and a few Chickadees and Goldfinches, the woods were pretty quiet.
