Partridge in a popple tree



Ruffed Grouse are called "partridge" here in Maine.  A popple is an  aspen. Luckily using the binomials anybody can figure out what I'm talking about.  So the above photos would be captioned thus, " A Bonasa  umbellus  in a Populus tremuloides.


Yeah, not much is or has been happening. It's been quiet. Tomorrow night we are supposed to get snow. Maybe a dusting (here) to maybe 6 inches along the coast.  Yeah, well, we shall see.
