January 30, 2010-Birds

Just some House Sparrows, a White Throated sparrow and Cardinals. It's funny how the little Sparrows always hang with the cardinals. They seem to follow them around a lot. But the more birds there are in a bush, the warmer they are I presume. February is upon us. Hopefully we will get some milder weather for these poor little critters.

Tracks in the snow. Bottom ones are from the fox.

Tufted Titmouse

House Sparrows freezing in the sub-zero weather and wind. A White-Throated Sparrow and a Nuthatch, who likes to come down to the ground and get some nuts also. And of course a Bluejay.

The Cardinals. I wish that female wasn't so quick. Never get very many good photos of her.

The poor Mourning Doves were really cold. There were lots of them down here today in the wind and cold.

This is the moon at 2 am and at 4 am behind the tree.I got up to take pictures and as I opened the window a fox was just coming down. I scared him away. It was below zero so I didn't linger there for long. The one behind the tree was taken through the window.

It Snowed!! January 28, 2010

We finally got some snow. I tried to beat it but when I came out of the store yesterday there was an inch on my car. It came down real heavy at noon. But it was real pretty. Got a few pics of the squirrels and birds in it. I was glad to get home. The wind picked up and it got a lot colder and blustery as the day went by. Went down below zero overnight. Brrrr!

A Few Deer-January 27, 2010

Saw quite a few deer out there tonight. Also saw a skunk for the first time in weeks and the Opossum was out there also. I didn't bother taking any pics of them because the foxes were out there too and I didn't want to scare them away. The crippled one was outside my living room window till I moved the curtain and he ran. I didn't know he was there or I wouldn't have looked out the window at that time. I hate scaring him away. Would like to observe him for a while without him knowing but it's so hard.
The weather is going to get real cold for the next week, starting tomorrow night. Haven't had any snow to cover up the dirty ground outside. It's supposed to snow hard for a very short time around noon tomorrow so maybe we'll get an inch or two.

A Fox On 24th-Foggy Day 25th

It was foggy all day long yesterday. And a gloomy, rainy day. It got up to almost 50 degrees. Not good. Caused a lot of flooding in some areas.
Got one of the foxes on the 24th. Not much activity going on the past two days. No deer either. It's because of all the rain I think. When it snows they will be back around.
