Late March assortment

Ruffed grouse on Monday

Turned up its nose at Sunflower seeds, chose a crust of French Bread

Ruffed grouse No. 2 Wednesday

More Eagles and a Pileated Woodpecker at Home

4 Eagles.
One I estimate is in its 5th year and the others, 4th year.

I think this one is in its 5th year judging by the white on tail and some on the head

Pileated Woodpecker busy hollowing out a utility pole. Kept disappearing down the hole then I could hear it hammering/chiselling away.
Would then emerge to drop the shavings and chips. Tokk a second or two to look around each time. Looking for a mate maybe?

1st day of Spring

1st (semi) tame fox sighted since November last.

And my 1st waterfowl sighting too.
A Common Merganser on a small open stretch
of the Serpent River.

 and here shots of the so-called Super Moon.

RISING

 

and RISEN

3 White-tail deer

Looking for handouts.

and for a change of pace:

 These Finches and Redpoles are harvesting gravel for their crops from frozen slush. Road-sand/salt/gravel accumulated under, and dropped from, the fenders of  passing cars.

More of the Local Bald Eagles

2 4 year olds and 1 Mature being hassled by ravens/crows.

Alien Crop Circle? ans other stuff

It is about one meter in diameter.
Note the "mouse" tracks bottom left of the circle. Almost appears as if the mouse hitched up to the weed and pulled it around and around. Real answer is the wind spun it.


Next: Young Bald Eagle being harassed by a crow or raven. Note the difference in size.

 

and here the assassin breaks off the attack

More Evening Grosbeaks:

Bit of frosty wood in a stream @ - 15
