The birds will not be able to hang around my local pond much longer. As you can see the first snow has sprinkled the ground with white!

Day 280: Winter Birding
All the leaves are down in the forest surrounding our home. While it’s sad and a bit gloomy outside at times, winter birding is made easier given the better sight lines. While there are much fewer birds in the forest, it is much easier to see and follow desired species. This afternoon I took a hike in the Lester Amity Forest and found this Pileated Woodpecker. After following him for almost a half mile, I continued my hike. Eventually the sun came out and I took the other photo as the sun’s last light kissed the Lester River Ravine.

Day 279: Sax-Zim Bog Snow Bunting
The winter birds are beginning to arrive in Sax-Zim Bog. My visit this morning was to try and find some owls, and snow buntings. While the owls made themselves scarce, I did find plenty of snow buntings. However, they are so skittish that getting a photograph is extremely difficult. In addition, while looking skyward for owls I did capture this ruffed grouse.
