This morning we had a large flock of Evening Grosbeaks eating fallen sunflower seeds at the feeder. When they flew away it was a golden ball against the white snow. Then this afternoon there have been bald eagles flying right past the window a ew times

Deer are getting hungry with all the deep snow, working a little harder for their food. This one was dancing in front of the trail camera several times. Reminded me of dance, so I had to borrow Waltz of the Flowers by Tchaikovsky. Think I hit the timing at the 30-second mark (sound on).

Drone video of snowshoe art . Final shot at about 400feet

Even the coyotes are having difficulty getting through this 2 feet of snow. Everything sinks.

Owl art

Snowshoe art

The plan was to snowshoe down to the beaver pond to check out a well-worn path in the snow I spotted with the drone. I have decided to wait till the temperature rises a bit more before going.

Have a good evening #sunset

snows getting a little deep

Next years heat, conserving energy under the snow

I probably have posted something of his work before. But the imagination and technique amazes me. The little feet hanging out of the art work art the end does it

Good morning

A little cool inside this morning. Even well insulated houses have trouble holding in the heat in these temps. Restarting the wood stove and may have to up the thermostat to above 60 to get this place warm

Hairy Woodpecker #birds

Suppose to be -4F tonight. Might need to close down the bedroom window a little more

What the bird viewed. Have a nice day ( yes I am a little bored)

Good morning, just digging out and making room for the next snow

Enjoy #SquirrelAppreciationDay!. #mammals #squirrel #wildlife

make sure you also look at 2/2 in the comments . I really like the shadow stretching into the heavens. That one stopped me for more than a minute of thought

Good morning. Taking 30 seconds of peace

I've seen Red-tailed Hawks eating squirrels and chasing squirrels in Central Park, but I've never seen one actually catch a squirrel... #hawks #squirrels #CentralPark #birdcpp

With this, I wish you a good night

Northern lights out tonight, iPhone picks them up well.

Have a good evening

The deer are getting hungry. 2 different recordings

a moment of zen

Coyote wandering past the trail camera. That eye shine makes you stop

Good morning, snow again today. I had this all cleared off yesterday. The heck with it, time to snowshoe

This is so well done. If you like trail camera and wildlife photography @chriswhittier.bsky.social is a good follow

Stars last night, then playing with reflections While looking out the sliding door. Orion in both

Good morning

18F outside with a much colder windchill. Figured if I was going to have cabin fever, I would just go out to the little cabin out back.

Twig-owl.

Weird sight. The pond was near empty due to the drought. It started to fill late Nov early Dec. then froze. We have had rain and snow. Lifted ice which also carried the white rock up about 6 feet from where it sat on the other rock

Stump photos

7 years ago I was having shock like pains in my chest in the evening. Was diagnosed as having a heart attack and rushed down to Portland. After they tried to put in stents the next day, they then stabilized me and and performed a quadruple bypass on the second day. 1/2

Have a good evening

Bluebirds are back on this cold (18˚F) windy day. #birds

hello

I don't remember seeing a bluebird around here at this time of year. #birds

After the need for cracked corn spread on ice for traction is over, the cleanup crew has shown up.

So many memories. So many smiles. Thank you is not enough. But memories will always remain. Wish a good journey. Bob Weir, Grateful Dead co-founder, has died at 78 - Rolling Stone

The Boys (Tollers) have their own groupies. (the driveway is icy, there is not enough snow for snowshoeing, and I have a little cabin fever from being stuck inside for about 4 hours. Sorry about this) #NSDTR

Be one with the music

I leave a window open an inch for night air. Morning frost on the glass
