After the snowstorm. 4 inches here, 8 up north.

It’s been a while since I have seen a Rough-legged Hawk. Not uncommon in this area in winter, but I don’t see them often. Pretty bird. #birds #birding

What does a pet owner do when it is -3 outside and you don’t want to take your dogs for a walk in the freezing cold? You take them on a snifari at a local pet store

I love seeing so many swans around. When I was kid they were a rarity to see. #birds #birding

It was such a delight to see a Northern Shrike soaking up the sun yesterday. #birds #birding

Checking each other out #eagle #birds #birding

What a treat to see a flock of Rusty Blackbirds on my walk today. This is just one of them. I also saw a Kestrel, eagles, many green-winged Teals, Wastern Bluebirds and a Northern Shrike. #birds #birding

Here are the Sandhill Cranes I saw. Poor lighting due to the sun going down.

You never know what you will see while walking along the river… two Sandhill Cranes, dozens of White-throated Sparrows, or a beaver sitting silently in the water, staring back at you for what seems like forever. Judgey beaver. 😁
Here he is a little later, swimming around.
