It's Snowing Here

See the snow on the deer's back??

It's really coming down now.

These pics are from my kitchen window..These three

stayed out there for a long time. I know food is scarce now

for them. Wish I had some corn . Maybe I should go

get some of the corn that wasn't harvested up the road.

We also saw 15 eagles on the river..Illinois River

and two coyotes in a corn field ..on our way home from

my NeuroSurgeon.

Here's who came to visit. No food for Mr Sharp Shinned Hawk.

The birds all hid.

Tah Dah Finally

Push > to play videos

Oh I have tried to get this for months.

Finally I get the opportunity & the day is overcast,

so here's a video.

It's the Pileated Woodpecker, pretty rare in this area

I hope to get a photo soon,

but it's so cold and snowy, I can hardly get out to take

pics. My hands & toes get cold so fast.

Of course, at the same time, we had 4 deer outside the fence.

It was just about 4 PM , snowy & cloudy.

God blessed me

My Nature Friends

This guy was in the field last friday

when I took my walk.  He just looked at

me for a bit.

You may have to click to enlarge this one

Mr Hawk was perched on the deck right

under the bird feeders..looking for

breakfast.  I was inside and it's

rainy out so I didn't get a GOOD picture.

Not a creature was stirring ..they know when

he's around.

I spied this nest (wren) in a tree at the edge of the singing

woods. Make entirely of small twigs woven together.

 Awesome

What Was She Thinking

??

My four deers friends came to visit yesterday.

One little deer has been hanging around for 2-3 weeks

She comes alone sometimes & she appears to have

a broken front ankle

Well as her friends wandered on to hunt food, she walked back towards our fence

AND

she jumped over!!!

OMG.. She can't do that!!

We have a dog who was not out , but can be at pottie time

Rich opened the back window and said not mean or loud

"What are you doing"

She promptly turned around & jumped back over the fence

I didn't get a jump pic, but I did get

an inside & outside of the fence picture

Enjoy
