Whiskeytown Lake

It turned out to be a gorgeous day at Whiskeytown Lake!

All of the surrounding mountains are capped with a dusting of snow because of all the storms we've been having...

 The highlight of our visit to Whiskeytown Lake has to be the Common Mergansers we saw at Clear Creek.

As we were crossing the little footbridge, we noticed three females on the rocks below.

(For more photos of the birds we saw, including the Acorn Woodpecker, visit my birding blog Wings and Daydreams!)

Cormorants were drying out their wings on the buoys...
