Roller Coaster Weather

 Like much of the country, our recent weather has been unsettled. This beautiful farm, built in 1875, made a charming snow scape one day...




and was shrouded in fog not too long after...




In a nearby field, I encountered a red-shouldered hawk...

It had just caught a vole...


Next, I found clear evidence that a pileated woodpecker was in the area...



While parked on the side of the road I was entertained by this wood thrush...



and this Eastern fox squirrel...



Below is an iron truss bridge built around 1876...


Some shadows make interesting patterns on the snow...


Finally, when I checked a trail camera on the edge of our yard, I discovered this image of ten gobblers...


Thanks for visiting, be well, and come back soon.
