We got the first real snow of the year. Only an inch or two but it is better than the wet gloom that we've been having.
Lots of bird feeder activity - cardinals in this case.
I put on my backpack of ballast and headed out to do the camera tour on foot.
Saturday was still cloudy but Sunday morning was sunny and bright. I took a walk both days.
A little more difficult to navigate the steep slopes when they're snow covered.
The cameras tell some of the stories - a squirrel and a crow involved in this snow disturbance.
But who did this? I heard a very loud and distinct turkey gobble on my walk this morning.
Not a very good photo but a full moon rising. As we were going to bed Saturday, Joan looked out the window and there was a young doe at the bird-feeder. She watched a while longer and a family group passed by.
When I got up Sunday morning, it looked like there had been a dance party due to all the hoof prints in the snow.
There were coming from everywhere up to the feeders.
Beautiful sunrise.
And the bird activity picked right up. The deer had definitely depleted the seed inventory. Red bellied woodpecker.
Lots of doves.
Valentine couple.
Woodpecker and junko.
A dove thinking about a challenge.
The Sunday morning walk was glorious - lots of sun and no wind. It was about 26F.
Most bucks still sporting their headgear.
I didn't find any sheds.
This one appears to have shed early and is already working on the next set.

Doe vs possum.
Doe party.
A crowd in the pond field.
Some young bucks still sparing.
The take-down.
Loser?
Coyotes moving.
One bobcat sighting.
And a neighborhood dog.
