WW - The View from Here

Poor Prognosticator

Saturday, a chilly day, the ground hog showed up.  Now according to my calendar it's still winter.  Don't know why it was awake or what it found to eat.  I had noticed that an area under the deck had been dug out but attributed it to the raccoons mischief.  Now I think it was the ground hog digging itself out from underneath there, but a bit too early.

Here's where I saw that something had opened up a hole under the deck.

Here's the ground hog.

The birds know its not Spring yet.

The fox trots through each morning.

And now today we have a 4 inch snow fall.

No more signs of the ground hog.

Just the birds madly feeding.

Our National Bird

Visiting daughter Emily and her family this past weekend in NH we spotted this lovely example of our National Bird high up in a tree overtop a farm.  We were headed to the Montshire Science Museum so took the photo out the window of the car.

Suppertime in My Backyard

I filled the green bird feeder hanging in the background and then scattered what was remaining of the sunflower seeds in the can on the snow for the ground feeding birds.  The cardinals were enjoying it last time I looked out.

But now this visitor is getting a belly full.

She's right outside my windows so she's sure to have seen me in there getting my supper ready.

She didn't run until I opened the door.

So as I'm writing this another deer has sauntered up to take her turn at the seeds.  Never ending battle with these deer!
