Saturday's Critters

It's been awfully cold. I haven't ventured too far into the forest. The walking in knee-deep snow is horrid. 


The red squirrels are having no trouble at all.



The red squirrels have dug tunnels all around the bird feeders. Cinnamon does 'bear' trying to see over the snow banks.  

 


The deer don't really worry about the tunnels! doe a deer 

  


I've moved the trailcam to sit beside the house. The walking is treacherous, and knee-deep without snowshoes. I'm still figuring out the camera, and it still shows F. not C., but I'm working on it.

The buck Henry is looking pretty regal! I'll bet he drops his antlers shortly.

 


I'm still getting a handle on the new trailcam. This video, at dawn, was quite blue! deer and snow:

    I love all your critters. Your cat sitting on its haunches trying to look over the snow is great. Our fat little cat does a similar move sometimes trying to look out the window.

    Cinnamon, you need stilts!!! Too much snow to be safe out there, it looks very solid and slippery. Love the magnificent man with those antlers, he is indeed regal.

    The critters look great. The snow looks great but hard work.
    Keep up with the sketching of the mouse, you'll get there.

    I always wonder how the animals and birds keep warm in these frigid conditions. Adorable video of Cinnamon on patrol and I enjoyed the others with the deer. That’s a handsome looking buck. Thanks for sharing these photos and videos, like looking through your window. Stay safe and warm :)

    These are so special! It seems the deer never sleep! Are the squirrels sleeping inside the tunnels they build? That's a lot of digging just to avoid walking on top of the snow. Linda in Kansas

    I haven't seen snow like that since I moved from Colorado. Here our bigger problems in winter are shallower depths of snow melting and freezing overnight into a layer of ice, sleet and freezing rain that can cause quite a lot of damage. The red squirrel is so cute. I love the video of Cinnamon peeking over the snow.
