We had snow very early Thursday morning that coated everything with maybe a half inch of that white stuff.
I have had my bird feeders up for almost a month. Here in New Hampshire we take them down in spring when bears come out of hibernation and put them up when they go back into their dens for the winter.
There hasn't been much action at the feeders and I'm not sure why. On this snow day a few cardinals came by and a junco was on the ground but the usual traffic of chickadees and tufted titmouse was non-existent.
This morning we noticed tracks across the yard and deck. It's an animal that drags its feet but don't know if that's raccoon or skunk or something else.
After exploring the deck it went down along the side of the house. Of course it may have come from that direction.
Below are our tracks from yesterday. Another animal made tracks from the barn to our deck but this one steps in its own tracks - hind foot in front foot track. Is this a cat?
...our snow came November 1st and didn't last the day!
ReplyDeleteBirds show up so well against snow! Love your photos!
ReplyDeleteMarcia, thank you for your explanation about Washington Irving. That's very interesting. Spain is truly a beautiful country.
ReplyDeleteGosh! Snow! I rather miss snow, especially when it's stifling hot here in Hawaii.
It was a very slick storm lots of accidents over here. We have had so many Robin's flicks and flocks on our flowering crab.

I wonder if the tracks are from an injured or disabled animal. Let us know! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteNo snow here - lots of birds at the feeders though.
ReplyDeleteWho knows, but cats do that. I believe it is called direct registering, but I may have got it wrong.
ReplyDeleteThere's been no snow here in nashua, NH, yet this year - not even flurries and the daytime temp will reach 60 degrees at the end of this week, so it may be a while. Truthfully, I wish we had a light coating so it would seem more seasonal. The tracks are a mystery and maybe you will find the answer.
