So, I was out to the country place today. It was a lovely day...the days are definitely getting longer and we can feel the sun's energy increasing. There were a number of common redpolls flitting about so I took a number of photos and I've got some obligatory snow photos for @Mandy Onderwater .
Male among snowshoe hare droppings.
Male at the suet...either a female or juvenile to the left.
Three caught in motion.
Oh look...I get to move snow...again...yay.
The markers delineate a row of raspberries that have had a tough life thus far...they've been moved a couple times and hopefully this spot will work better for them.
Looking toward the half-buried cherry orchard...I didn't go over to see how much nibbling there has been, but if the snow gets much higher and the snowshoe hares have their way, we may not have a large crop this year.
These are pretty birds. She Who Must Be Obeyed and I had watched a YouTube video on them the other day and I mentioned that I didn't recall seeing them at our place before (of course that could just be faulty memory).
This is out near the compost pile...I thought it looked neat.
