Sunrise, and critters

The sunrise was amazing.

I spotted several mosquitos down at the frozen-ish frog pond the other day. They looked like this. The birds will be happy! It seems as if spring will be early.

Dratted Red Squirrel:

"Porcupine Chatter" is a great video made by someone I follow on our Facebook group. Sound on, for sure, they are really sweet!


Doe a deer:

Raccoons don't hibernate, per se, but the do have extended sleeps. Depending where you are and your climate. Ours seem to sleep when the temperatures are below zero, once winter sets in.

😼 Oregano

Who else is awake? This is a screen capture from nearly a year ago.


He has to live somewhere nearby, but our nearest possible neighbour is a km away, across the highway. I haven't seen evidence of him since December 26th!

    ...warmer weather is attractive, but mosquitos aren't.

    Mosquitoes in February? Tell me it isn't o!

    I've missed your photos and videos. I'm sorry I'm so behind in reading and commenting on blog posts (or anything else, for that matter.) Between company for a week, a Corkie do at Rick's, an ear or sinus infection and the mass shooting, I'm not functioning on any kind of reasonable schedule. I don't know that I'll ever catch up but will try to get on track.

    I hope Oregano is careful crossing the road.

    Interesting to get a peek at night life in the wild. I wonder if these critters get cold paws in the snow!

    Much enjoyed again, thank you Jenn. I never would have thought that porcupines would have sounded like that. Fascinating!
