Through the Window

Saw the first robin of the year today in our yard.

After the snowstorm of yesterday

we had a flurry of birds at the feeders.

Among them was the tufted titmouse.

The nuthatch stopped by...

along with the downy woodpecker.

There were many others including

the cardinals, chickadees, white throated sparrow,

blue jays, doves and red-bellied woodpecker.

I was wondering if our resident little red squirrel

would be able to navigate through the snow

for it was very fluffy and I thought it would sink.

Just as I was thinking that little red appeared in a

hole in the snow!

Was so happy to see him or her.

Reminders of Spring Inside and Outside

Could spring be in the air?

Feels Like Summer but It's Spring

Spring and summer seem to have arrived together
and exceptionally early this year!

The chipmunks woke up and are scurrying around
and filling up on sunflower seeds...

birds are singing and we have heard the peepers
peeping from nearby ponds as night falls...

Brody loves sitting out on the porch
keeping an eye on the wildlife activity
in the yard.
He's seen the flying squirrels at night!



And to my surprise I saw this wonderful porcupine
way up in a willow tree.

A Snowy Day for the Birds

To think this is just the 2nd snow fall since October...


As the wet snow fell,
the robins flocked to the bushes with berries...

Saw a brief and rare appearance of the red squirrel...
he is so fast, in a blink of an eye he was gone.

Early Morning Meeting

I did a double take this morning when I glanced
through my studio window!
