The Places you'll Go

This Great Blue Heron and another were skirmishing in a field nearby

To this little wide spot in the road on Brand Road where we park in the swamp

And enjoy Winterberry Holly with leaves still on!
This plant will shine like a beacon in the grey and white of winter
Until the birds eat all the berries that is...

Brand/Rankin Grove Road

Here are a couple of places we visit quite often, partly in search of good county birds, and partly because they are beautiful, peaceful spots full of interesting plants and wild animals. 

A Belted Kingfisher at another wide spot in another road...Goldman Road
We call this place Lykers Pond on eBird lists

One side of the "pond"

This beaver house was built over a couple of weeks this summer and gets bigger
and more elaborate every time we stop
