We had another fun & informative flyway chat on Friday.  We discussed migration again, so here are some links in case you missed chat.
We talked about the largest migrants to the tiniest!
I believe Mish asked about when the pelicans would return. Here's a range map for the American white pelican:
https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/American_White_Pelican/maps-range
Izzy mentioned the petite Prothonotary warbler which travels as far as Central and South America in winter but breeds in North America, including along the Mississippi:
https://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/prothonotary-warbler
and here is an excellent live time migration map (you can also go back to earlier dates):
https://birdcast.info/live-migration-maps/
Smokey brought up the issue of bird mortality due to light pollution.  Audubon Society is just one organization working on this problem:
https://www.audubon.org/conservation/project/lights-out
And last but not least, we can always count on Amy to post an excellent blog about migration:

No quizzes on this - just enjoy! :)

Well, Flyway Friends, the white-out weather on Monday didn't offer too many wildlife viewing opportunities until near end of chat when the camera operator found us a beaver on the ice.  Of course, after chat closed, a second beaver joined the first one!
Since snow/ice dominated the scenery,  Pharm found a great video for us of tugboats/barges on the icy Mississippi:

then I found a fun video of eagles floating on the Mississippi ice from just about one year ago:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82EwTbTyWM4
As I write this, it looks like the camera has powered up again - yay! - so we hopefully will have live feed for a New Year's Day chat.  Hope to see you Wed., same time, same place!

Last sunset of the decade at the MRFC.

Happy New Year to all.

Looking forward to the roaring 20's.  :)

It's the only way we can get fresh fish in the midwest ;)  Brrr is right, but worth it! :)

You all have probably deduced problems today with Chatroll.  Hope to see you again soon - meanwhile, enjoy!
