Dizzying Dazzling

Out on the hill
You have days like that. Out in the snow yesterday morning, then we went to our usual haunts. Found no less than four Golden-crowned Kinglets, a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, a Grey Catbird, and a whole bunch of other cool birds. 

A view from the hill


 Then when we were just getting ready to go out for the evening chore rounds one of our dear friends called having found a Snowy Owl right in our county. We raced up to see it and were just able to do so before it became too dark. Downright thrilling.

A few other things fell together to make for a pretty nice day. This morning it is cold and bright and quite inviting, but I am staying in off the hill because we have a lot to do today.....

    And then the next day, the lock on the gate is frozen with a hay customer coming and must be thawed. While we are thawing it someone shoots a deer right up behind the barn, but we can't go accost him because of the hay customer. And the boss won't let me go. Dagnabbit. I am as mean as the next person after all

    Oh, dear! I just wanted to comment on how much of a treat it is to have a sunny day and time between November and March.

    Jonna, it ended up mostly better than okay. Not happy about the trespasser, but we got the lock thawed, got the hay sold, and went birding with a good friend later in the day.

    I get so sick of trespassers! I am NOT nice when I catch those buggers!

    Linda, thankfully we have had fewer lately than in previous years. Didn't find any sign of this guy when Alan went hunting on Saturday so maybe he didn't actually get anything.
