| 2 (2003)There's no way the groundhog saw its shadow today! It wouldn't have been able to get out from under all the snow. | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | |
| 9 | 10 (2003) Can you blame me! Its been cold!!!! | 11 | 12 (2003) Stiff winds blew down quite a few of the dead snags in the yard. Once on the ground you can really appreciate how these trees are used for homes and a source of food. There were all kinds of woodpecker holes! Some of the holes were filed with the nesting material from other birds. | 13 (2003) It must be incredibly difficult for the deer. Our backyard, a dense spruce, balsam fir swamp for the most part it riddled with footpaths, beds, yards and signs of deer browse. | 14 | 15 | |
| 16 | 17 | 18 (2003) While south of us got dumped on Newcomb only receive 3-4". While snowshoeing with a group at the Hudson Pointe Nature Preserve in Queensbury there was little to no activity after 12+ inches of snow. Only one brave red squirrel left tracks between two trees. Animals that staff under the snow or those that are able to stick to the trees are definitely at an advantage! | 19
(2003) Birds are finally returning to my feeders. Plenty of chickadees,
nuthatches and purple finches.
Starting to warm up! Deer really active behind our house in the woods. The girls and I went for a walk and met four along the way. Every little sapling and deciduous shrub has been browsed. |
20 (2003) Some kind of albino bird at the feeder this morning. I couldn't quite make it out. Smaller than a robin bigger than a chickadee. Doesn't have a finch's beak. I'll have to keep an eye out. | 21 (2003)
Then again, I do believe it is an albino purple finch.
Ruffed grouse seem to be moving about with the warmer weather. Look for the three-toed prints in the snow. |
