First, through the forest to the wetland. The pileated woodpecker has been busy. I saw him again. He's been in this part of the forest a lot. I love the trees. If I had a more artistic eye, I could create a beautiful photo. With the cataracts, I haven't a chance.





This (below) requires some sleuthing.

Staring out the kitchen window at them, I recalled my post from Feb., 2015: they were sleeping in a huddle.
Below is the wetland, in the background, the highway.





Fungus!


I went snowshoeing, finally, in honour of World Wetland Day on Sunday. It's quite frozen over.

I'm going to have to take down this dead tree trunk. It rather defeats the purpose of the critter baffle, keeping the predators out of the wood duck box! I have a couple of months to remember to take my axe and reciprocal saw down there. I wonder when I will remember to take it down?!

Home sweet home

I looked down and wondered what it was. It sort of looked icky. I know the bears are asleep.

My lost mitten!
