Winter Bird Photography: Finding a Birding Hot Spot

Today I heading down to a small lake that is surrounded by forest. This has proven to be a good habitat to find winter birds in the past so I wanted to head down there again to see what I could find. This area has a shallow lake that is surrounded by shrubs and forest which is great habitat for waterfowl and winter song birds. When I arrived at the location, after a slight detour with a northern harrier, I was not disappointed. This was definitely one of the best riding locations that I have been to in a while with dozens of birds foraging on bright red winterberries.
